Plum Strudel with Cinnamon Streusel

Recipe Description

This Plum Strudel With Cinnamon Streusel is a really great baked plum recipe which combines super thin dough with plums and a cinnamon almond streusel. There is a bit of prep and resting time in this recipe, but I guarantee it is worth it.

Start this strudel by making a dough using flour, oil and water. Leave the dough to rise in a bowl and prepare plums by halving them and removing the stones. Make streusel filling by mixing flour, almonds, sugar, butter, and cinnamon and chilling until you are ready to use. Stretch out the dough until see through. Place the plum and streusel filling on the dough and roll it up. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden brown. Serve dusted with confectioners’ sugar.

To make Plum Strudel With Cinnamon Streusel, you will need the following ingredients:
