Easy Peach Strudel Recipe Using Puff Pastry

How to Make a Cream Cheese Peach Strudel

My husband walked in the door with a big box of ripe, juicy, peaches this week. Our home has smelled absolutely divine. I had to arm wrestle him for enough peaches to make this peach strudel.

However, after I pulled the cream cheese strudel out of the oven and he took a bite, he offered to share a few more. 😉 It’s a snap to whip up with purchased puff pastry and much easier to make than it looks.

Initial Prep

Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. Then, beat the egg and water together in a small bowl – I use a fork for quick cleanup and convenience. Whip the cream cheese with 1/4 cup brown sugar. To chopped peaches, add brown sugar, flour, nuts, and vanilla. Stir and set aside

Preparing the Strudel

Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Roll the pastry sheet into a 14×2″ rectangle. You can also cut it in half to make two smaller strudels if you’d like. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pastry dough. Spread the peach mixture 1-inch from the edge of the dough.

Rolling the Strudel

Begin carefully rolling the dough over the filling and then pinch the ends together and tuck under.

Baking the Strudel

Carefully place on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. Brush with egg wash and slash top with a sharp knife.  Sprinkle with coarse sparkling sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Let cool for 20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Final Thoughts

How delicious does that creamy peach strudel look? I can tell you that it will make your house smell absolutely amazing! When it’s ready to serve, make sure to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a nice dollop of whip cream if you want your taste buds to really go wild.
