Hello lovelies! We'll be together for the recipe box this month. But don't worry, this is only for 1 month. So, shall we begin? I spoke to Miss Queenie the other day and asked her for her special recipe. Do you have any idea what this is? Yes, you know it, Apple Strudel! Who doesn't remember that delicious pastry? This recipe brings you to paradise with its splendid filling, golden yellow color, and wonderful smell. I'm sure you all know how to do this with your wand, but what if you did this with Muggle methods? Can you overcome this little challenge? Oh come on, go ahead. Prepare your quills and bake this delicious recipe in your temperature-featured Muggle box tonight!
Are all your ingredients ready? Then what are we waiting for? Let's bake it!
Start Your Creation:
1. Whisk flour, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
2. Drizzle in oil and water and mix with a spoon until a dough starts to form.
3. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until the dough is soft and supple.
4. Place in a bowl cover with a towel. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
5. Peel and chop apples and then mix them with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Let the mixture stand to release some of the moisture.
6. Microwave ( A Muggle thing ) raisins and water for 30 seconds to plump and then add them to the apple mixture.
7. When the dough is ready, roll it out using a rolling pin to about the size of a sheet paper, then begin to slowly stretch it thin.
Can You Use That Hot Muggle Box? Oh Be Careful!:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Trim off the ends of one side of the dough to create ribbons. Braid the ribbons together to make 3 small braids.
3. Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
4. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the apples and place them along the side of the strudel dough.
5. Roll the dough around the apples and place onto a baking sheet.
6. Brush the strudel with remaining butter and attach the braid, brushing the braid with butter as well.
7. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes and then 350 degrees for another 30 minutes.
Last Touches:
1. Cool and top with powdered sugar.
2. Cut the remaining apples into thin slices with a rounded edge, leaving the skin on the apple.
3. Microwave the apple slices in water and a little lemon juice for 3 minutes.
4. Make apple flowers by shingling the slices and rolling them into a flower.
5. Place the flowers on top of the strudel and serve.
6. Enjoy!
