Instructions
Prepare the Apple Filling
Toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon and raisins if using in a bowl until evenly coated. Let sit 5 minutes while the pastry is being prepared so the apples release a little juice.
Assemble the Strudel
Unroll puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and spread apple filling evenly across the pastry leaving a 1 inch border all around. Roll the pastry tightly from one long side and pinch ends to seal.
Brush and Score
Place strudel seam side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the entire surface with melted butter and use a sharp knife to make 4 small diagonal slits on top for steam to escape.
Bake Until Golden
Bake at 375F for 25 minutes until the pastry is deeply golden and puffed. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing then dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
