Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 sheet puff pastry on a floured surface to a 12x10 inch rectangle.

  2. Step 2

    Peel and core the 2 apples, then slice thinly. In a bowl, mix apples with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.

  3. Step 3

    In another bowl, soften the 4 oz cream cheese with 1 tbsp sugar. Spread the cheese mixture over the pastry, leaving a 1 inch border.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the apple slices over the cheese. Fold the pastry edges over the filling and roll up tightly, sealing the seam.

  5. Step 5

    Beat the 1 egg and brush over the strudel. Place the 1 star anise on top for flavor. Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
