Apple and maple strudel

Ingredients

  • 2 egg roll sheets
  • 2 apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons grapes
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 100 g sponge cake (from the supermarket)
  • 4 tbsp Canadian maple syrup (medium)
  • 30 g melted butter
  • Cinnamon, to taste
  • Egg gilding, as much as necessary
  • Powdered sugar, to taste

Preparation

  1. Peel the apples, cut into 5 mm-thick wedges and place in a microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice and microwave until tender.
  2. Soak grapes in rum to soften.
  3. Cut sponge cake into 3 cm cubes, place in a bowl, add steps 1, 2, maple syrup, melted butter and cinnamon, and mix. Let stand until sponge cake is soaked.
  4. Lay out the egg roll sheets and place half of step 3 horizontally in the center. Fold the remaining sheet over the filling. Repeat with the other sheet.
  5. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and place step 4 on the sheet, folded sides up. Brush with egg wash and bake at 220℃, until golden brown.
  6. Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.
