So, on the question of how to prepare an apple strudel, we begin to respond with the preparation of a traditional dough, that is, unglazed. Its ingredients are easy to remember, because they consist of 125 grams of ordinary water, 250 grams of ordinary wheat flour, one ordinary egg and one or two tablespoons of ordinary vegetable oil. Why do we always repeat the word "ordinary"? And in order to emphasize that to prepare a delicious dessert you do not always need to arrange a shopping trip in search of unusual products.

Let's continue the answer to the question, how to cook apple strudel, because our dough is ready to roll it. All the charm of the taste of this dessert depends, in many respects, on how thin the layer of the rolled dough will be. Therefore, it is rolled on a large napkin or a smooth towel. So the dough does not stick together and the roll, which you need to roll out of it after unfolding the filling on it, turns out neat. The first turn of the roll is done by hands, and then the edges of the napkin or towels are simply raised and the dough with the filling folds itself. It is not necessary to fix the strudel, since the density can prevent the full baking of the pie from the inside.

Do not forget before spreading the apples on the dough, smear it with melted butter. To give the dessert a piquancy, many housewives add to the apple strudel recipe, except for apples, raisins, nuts and sprinkle with its cinnamon. But even without these additives, after forty minutes of soaking in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees, you will have an amazing dessert. If you also periodically water it with small portions of melted butter, then the color will be very appetizing.

For sweeties, you can add a little sugar to the filling, but it also turns out very tasty.
