Preparation
1. Let's start cooking right away apple filling, however, don’t forget to defrost the dough if you purchased it frozen! Wash the apples in water and cut into four parts. We cut off the seed pods from each of them and wash them again.
2. Then cut each quarter into medium-sized cubes.
3. Pour the apple slices into a ladle or saucepan, pour 25 ml of boiling water and add granulated sugar.
4. Then add baking seasoning - it will give the dessert an indescribable sweetish aroma. And cinnamon, which is part of the spice, harmonizes best with apples!
5. Place the saucepan over medium heat and reduce its contents by half for about 5-7 minutes. It is necessary that the sugar melts and caramelizes on the apple slices.
6. After this, roll out the dough into a rectangular layer and cut one edge into strips, but without cutting to the end.
7. Sprinkle crackers or biscuit crumbs on the second whole edge.
8. Place the prepared apple filling on it and smooth it out.

11. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush with whipped quail egg or ordinary chicken egg yolk.2. Sometimes it’s difficult to choose apples, because there are so many varieties on sale. All early fruits are too soft, so during baking they can turn almost into jelly. Sverdlovsk anise is too hard - it may not soften completely. Antonovka and Baltika for those who don’t like sugary strudel sweet filling. Tambov, on the contrary, is for those with a sweet tooth.
3. If you have any doubts about store-bought breadcrumbs, it is better to make your own breadcrumbs from buns or their crusts. This ingredient, recommended by the recipe list, is a must: if the apple pieces are not placed on a crumbly bedding, they will press through the bottom edge of the dough.
4. You can add 5 ml of vegetable oil (for shine) and a pinch of cinnamon (for rich color and unique aroma) into the egg intended for greasing the upper side of the strudel. Some people even replace egg lubricant with sour cream or butter, and this does not harm many types of dough, but puff pastries will definitely settle.
