Peach Strudel with Fresh Peaches
This delicious peach strudel is made of buttery layers of phyllo dough and fresh, juicy peaches. It's one of my favorite desserts because it only requires 8 ingredients, and it's ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
- 2 fresh peaches
- 8 sheets phyllo dough (thawed in the fridge)
- zest from one medium orange
- 1 Tablespoon orange juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup unseasoned bread crumbs or Panko bread crumbs
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar (or confectioners' sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and thinly slice the peaches. Discard the pits.
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Place one sheet of thawed phyllo dough on the parchment paper on your baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to brush a little melted butter on the dough.
- Place a second sheet of phyllo dough on top of the first one. Brush that sheet with melted butter. Continue layering all the phyllo dough with melted butter.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly over the phyllo dough.
- Use a slotted spoon (a spoon with holes in it) to spread out a few large spoonful's of the peaches in a line along one of the short edges of the phyllo dough, leaving about a one-inch border on the edge.
- Lift up the edge of the phyllo dough and wrap it over the sliced peaches, so the peach filling is covered by phyllo dough.
- Add another few spoonful’s of the peach filling, parallel to the covered peach filling. Again, roll the dough over the newly placed peaches.Continue layering the peaches and rolling the dough a bit at a time. This creates numerous layers of peach-pastry-peach-pastry.
- Brush the top of your peach strudel with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the strudel is golden brown and crispy.Allow your strudel to cool for 10 minutes, then sift the powdered sugar on top. Enjoy!!
