This shortcut strudel comes together in under 45 minutes with store-bought puff pastry, so you get that satisfying homemade treat without the dough-making hassle. You'll prep grated apples with warm cinnamon and nuts, layer them onto pastry with a breadcrumb base to keep things crispy, then roll and bake until golden—the trickiest part is squeezing out excess apple juice so your pastry stays flaky and doesn't get soggy.

Peel the apples, remove the cores and coarsely grate them. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, then add the raisins and nuts.

Preheat the oven and prep the pastry
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Unroll the puff pastry straight onto the baking tray along with its baking paper. If you're using a block of pastry, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Build a crispy base
Sprinkle breadcrumbs (or crushed sponge biscuits) along the middle of the pastry. If the apples have released a lot of juice, gently squeeze it out with your hands.
