Almond Strudel

SERVES: 10  COOK TIME: 30 minutes  TOTAL TIME: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 package Solo Foods Almond Paste
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 sheet puff pastry
¼ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

To prepare, preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together your egg wash (the egg and water), then set aside. In a food processor (or mixer) combine almond paste, sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Unfold pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently roll with a rolling pin to be a little thinner and larger than it is out of the box. Cut slits 1 inch apart from the 2 sides of the pastry rectangle within 1/2 inch of the where the center mixture will go. Arrange the almond paste mixture down the center of the pastry. Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the almond mixture on a diagonal, alternating sides. Brush the pastry lightly with your egg wash. Sprinkle with the sliced almonds to top. Bake for 10 minutes and then lower heat to 375°F and continue to bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool on pan for about 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
