Instructions
Prepare the Filling
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, cooking until the apples soften (about 5 minutes). Stir in the vanilla extract and cornstarch mixture, cooking for another minute until thickened. Let the filling cool slightly.
Prepare the Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into six rectangles. Place a spoonful of the apple cinnamon filling onto half of the rectangles, leaving space around the edges.
Seal the Strudels
Place the remaining pastry rectangles over the filled ones. Use a fork to press and seal the edges. Poke a few small holes in the top to allow steam to escape.
Brush and Bake
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk the egg with milk and brush over the top of each strudel. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Make the Icing
While the pastries bake, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Finish and Serve
Let the pastries cool slightly before drizzling the icing on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
