Ingredients
  

  • Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (both sheets) thawed
  • 2-12.5 ounces Can of Solo Cherry Cake/Pastry Filling or Pie Filling
  • ½ cup Confectioners' Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.
  • On a flat surface, place a large piece of parchment paper. Place both puff pastry sheets on the parchment paper, slightly overlapped in the middle. Use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry into a large rectangle and flatten the middle together. Trim any uneven edges.
  • On the long edges, cut 1" strips 3" into the side of the dough. Add a layer of cherry filling down the center of the dough approximately 3" wide.
  • Begin crisscrossing the strips of dough over the cherry filling. I also like to roll up the ends so the filling does not bake out.
  • Carefully turn one end of the puff pastry into a candy cane shape.
  • Mix egg and water in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash on top of the pastry.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes.
  • While it bakes, whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Once the strudel has partially cooled, drizzle with icing.
