Starry Night Strudel in measured, party-size portions.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Cooling and chilling 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 12 pinwheels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry sheet 8.6 oz, thawed but cold
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for rolling
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a skillet. Cook apples, cranberries, brown sugar and cinnamon over medium heat for 6–8 minutes, until softened and most released liquid evaporates. Cool about 20 minutes.
  2. Heat oven to 400°F. Lightly flour the counter and roll pastry to about 10x12 inches. Spread cooled filling thinly, leaving a 1-inch border along one long edge.
  3. Roll from the opposite long edge into a log. Seal the bare edge, then cut into 12 slices. Set cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush exposed pastry with beaten egg.
  4. Bake 20–25 minutes until pastry is golden and cooked through. Cool 10 minutes. Dust lightly with powdered sugar through a food-safe star stencil, if desired.
