Braided Peach Strudel Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• 2. In a large bowl, stir together the peaches, brown sugar, flour, walnuts and vanilla extract.
• 3. Unfold pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll pastry sheet to form a 14x12-inch rectangle. Gently transfer pastry sheet to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the peach mixture lengthwise down the middle of the pastry sheet. Cut slits 1 inch apart on both sides of the pastry to within 1/2 inch of the peach filling. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the peach filling in a braided pattern (fold one strip from the left, then fold one strip from the right), repeating until the filling is covered with the pastry strips.
• 4. Beat the egg and water together. Brush the egg wash over the pastry, and sprinkle the coarse sugar on top.
• 5. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the pastry is a light golden color and pastry filling is piping hot. Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes before slicing and serving
