For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the apple mixture. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for the almonds. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly dust a working surface with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
Step
0 mins
On the prepared work surface, join the two sheets of puff pastry by their short edges to make a long rectangle. Brush water along edges and press down gently with fingertips to seal.
03
Step
0 mins
Mix the apple slices, cinnamon, brown sugar, almonds, and butterscotch chips together in a bowl until evenly combined; spoon the mixture onto one of the long edges of the pastry. Fold one side of pastry over the mixture and roll into a long strudel. Make sure to seal at both ends. Brush pastry with melted butter; make two-inch diagonal slits the length of the strudel with a sharp knife. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the strudel and return to oven until the pasty is golden brown and flaky, another 15 to 20 minutes.

Jan 8, 2025The puff pastry I used didn't want to seal easily, so I used a fork to crimp the edges. Worked like a charm!
