To prepare a low-calorie PP strudel with apples, you do not need to knead the dough, ready-made lavash will do. Thus, the cooking time is reduced. The main secret of good taste is choosing the right apples. They should be firm, large and slightly sour, then the filling will not be too sweet when cooked.

How to cook Healthy strudel

Step 1

Prepare the filling. Chop the nuts, cut the apples into small cubes. Mix the apples, raisins, cinnamon, nuts and sugar in a deep bowl.

Step 2

Roll up the roll. Beat the egg and milk in a bowl. Lay the lavash on the table, step back 3-5 cm from the edge and spread the filling across. Carefully roll up the roll and grease with half of the milk-egg mixture.

Step 3

Prepare the strudel. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the strudel on it and grease with the remaining mixture. Bake the strudel in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Healthy strudel - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of nut for the filling?

Yes, you can substitute walnuts, almonds, or pecans for the nuts in the filling based on your preference or dietary needs.

How can I make this strudel vegan-friendly?

Replace the egg and milk mixture with a plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) mixed with a tablespoon of maple syrup or agave for glaze.

Can I use puff pastry instead of lavash?

Absolutely! Puff pastry works well and adds a flakier texture. Adjust baking time accordingly, as it may cook faster.

How should I store leftover strudel?

Keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the oven for best texture.

Can I freeze the strudel before or after baking?

Yes, you can freeze the unbaked strudel (wrap tightly in plastic) for up to 3 months. Thaw before baking. Baked strudel can also be frozen; reheat in the oven.

What’s a good low-sugar alternative for this recipe?

Replace the sugar with a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, or omit it entirely and rely on the apples’ natural sweetness.

How can I prevent the strudel from becoming soggy?

Pat the apples dry after chopping, and avoid overloading the filling. Baking on a rack (instead of a flat tray) also helps crispness.

What are some creative serving suggestions?

Serve warm with a scoop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.

Can I make mini strudels instead of one large roll?

Yes! Cut the lavash into smaller squares, portion the filling, and roll individually. Reduce baking time to 20-25 minutes.
