If you grew up enjoying toaster strudel, you’re going to love this homemade version! This recipe offers a nostalgic twist on the beloved breakfast and evokes memories of cozy, carefree mornings. It has all the remnants of the classic but- dare we say- is even better than the store-bought version you remember. This recipe combines two traditional flavors to create the ultimate breakfast treat. A filling of soft apples sauteed in a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture is enrobed in pastry and baked until golden brown and flaky. Once cooled, a finishing touch of sweet icing is drizzled over the top.

How To Make brown sugar apple toaster strudel

Test Kitchen Tips
There’s something so satisfying about this process, and it’s much easier than you would think! Though you can make the pastry from scratch, the puff pastry sheets allow you to skip the heavy lifting of doing so, saving so much time and energy.

Just sauté the apples for a few minutes, and you’re nearly there! All you need is 30 minutes to make this breakfast pastry, and we guarantee these strudels are worth the effort.
  • slicing puff pastry

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice each puff pastry sheet into 6 pieces.
  • puff pastry cut
    2
    Place 6 pieces on the prepared baking sheet and set the remaining 6 to the side. (They will be the top to the strudel.)
  • apples mix
    3
    To make the filling, add the apples to a large bowl with the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • melted butter

    10
    Brush the top of each strudel with the egg wash. Bake 18-20 minutes.
