American apple strudel

This is by no means the 'real thing', but tasty enough, and very easy to make.

Ingredients
1 Pepperidge farm puff pastry sheet
1 egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sugar
1-2 tbsp corn starch
0.5 tsp cinnamon
2 large, sour apples
2 tbsp ground walnuts

Preparation
Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to instructions. Preheat the oven to 375F.

Prepare an egg wash using the egg and water.

Mix the starch, sugar, walnuts and cinnamon. Use more corn starch if the apples are nice and have high water content.

Peel, core and cut the apples into thin slices. Mix with the cinnamon, sugar mix.

Roll the pastry sheet into a 35x24cm rectangle. Spread the filling to the lower two third of the pastry, facing the shorter side. Leave 1-2cm clean on the edges.

Roll up and lift onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, putting it seam-side down. Tuck the ends under the strudel. Brush with egg-wash and cut slits into it.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the pastry is golden-brown. Allow to cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Serve with whipped cream (of course)!
