This is one of my favorite fall recipes.
It's super simple,
just a few ingredients,
and it tastes like you
got it at the bakery,
but you made it at home
in under 30 minutes.

Now let's get in the kitchen
and make apple strudel.
This recipe is super simple
because we're taking a
semi-homemade help from the store.
We're starting it with
Pillsbury crescent rolls.
I will always take a little bit
of semi-homemade help when I can.
And crescent rolls are one of
my favorite ways to do that.
The first thing you need to do
when making this recipe
is open the crescent rolls
and unrolled them onto
a sheet of parchment.
And then just push all the seams together
just to seal them
in case they come apart
when you unroll it.
To make the braid,
we need to cut slits
of crescent roll dough.
So use a pizza cutter or a knife
to cut one inch slits
on each side of the crescent roll dough,
leaving a strip down the
middle for the filling.
And fill the center with pie filling.
You can use my homemade
pie filling recipe,
or you can just buy a can.
And tip, this works well with
any kind of pie filling, not just apple.
Then all you have to do is simply
braid the strips
or fold them up over each other,
and push them together as needed
just to make sure that
it's sealed and the pie filling's
not going to leak out at the bottom
of the crescent roll braid.

Once you have it all braided,
I'm going to brush this
with a little bit of egg wash
and sprinkle it with sugar.
And then I'm going to
bake it at 375 degrees
for about 15 to 20 minutes.
I rotate my pan halfway through
until it's nice and golden brown,
that egg wash on top's going to make it
nice and golden on top.
Let it cool slightly.
And then it's time to add
a little bit of glaze to it.
To make my glaze,
I'm going to add a half of a cup
of powdered sugar to a small bowl,
along with half of a teaspoon of vanilla.
And I'm using one
tablespoon of apple juice.
If you want a thicker glaze,
you could use milk or heavy cream,
but I love adding a little bit
of extra apple flavor
by using apple juice.
Then just drizzle that
glaze over the strudel
and it's time to have your favorite pastry
made at home in under 30 minutes.
Once it's done and cooled,
it is delicious.
Look how pretty it is.
It looks professional,
but it was done in under 30 minutes
with a can of crescent rolls
and you have it at home.
This is great with coffee for breakfast,
or this is a great dessert.
This is one of my fall apple recipes.
One of my favorite ways to eat it
is alongside a cup of coffee
with a nice book curled up on the couch.
So I'm going to go do that now
while you keep watching.
