Warm Apple Strudel Made Easy with Global UKON

October 20, 2025 Monica C Comments

When autumn rolls in, few desserts capture the season like a freshly baked apple strudel. Warm, buttery, and filled with spiced apples, this classic treat is a fall favorite — and with the Global UKON 8” Chef Knife, prep becomes effortless and precise.

Why the UKON Chef Knife Shines in Fall Baking

From the first slice to the final fold, the UKON 8” Chef’s Knife brings balance, control, and sharpness to every step. Its razor-sharp edge glides cleanly through crisp apples without bruising, while the ergonomic handle gives you comfort and stability for long prep sessions. Designed for both power and finesse, it’s just as gentle when trimming or shaping delicate puff pastry dough, ensuring your bake stays beautifully layered and light.

Ingredients:

4 apples, diced

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon powder

1 teaspoon cornstarch

¼ cup water

1 egg, beaten

Puff pastry dough (store-bought or homemade)

Cane sugar for topping (optional)

Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Apples

Using your Global UKON Chef Knife, dice the apples into small, even cubes for a consistent filling texture.

2. Cook the Filling

In a pan, melt a bit of butter, then add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Simmer until the apples are soft and fragrant.

Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the pan to thicken the mixture. Cook for one more minute, then remove from heat and let cool completely.

3. Assemble the Strudel

Roll out your puff pastry dough. Spoon the apple filling into the center. With your UKON Chef Knife, make even slits along the sides of the dough — this will help create a beautiful braided pattern when wrapped. Gently fold the strips over the filling to enclose it.

4. Finish and Bake

Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cane sugar if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and flaky.

5. Serve

Slice with your UKON Chef Knife for a clean presentation and enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
