Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, toss apples, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Spoon apple mixture onto one long side of dough. Gently lift apple-topped edge of dough and start rolling up strudel toward plain dough edge until filling is completely sealed. If needed, turn log to place seam on bottom. For flaky pastry, brush strudel with additional butter.

For easy transfer, carefully slide sheet of cooking parchment paper under strudel. Using paper, lift and place strudel on ungreased cookie sheet.

To toast the pecans, heat the oven to 400°F. Place the pecans in a single layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place in the middle of the oven; bake about 3 minutes or until pecans are aromatic. Keep a close eye on the pecans since they can easily burn.
