                3. Mix until light and creamy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Step 3 \u2013 Assemble the Strudel<\/h2>\n
                    \n
                  1. Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
                  3. Roll the puff pastry into a rectangle about 10 \u00d7 14 inches (25 \u00d7 35 cm)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

                  5. Spoon the cooled apple mixture over the cream cheese.<\/li>\n
                  6. Dollop the raspberry or cherry preserves over the apples.<\/li>\n
                  7. Fold the long sides over the filling, then fold in the ends to seal.<\/li>\n
                  8. Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Step 4 \u2013 Add the Topping<\/h2>\n

                    2. If using streusel, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, and chopped nuts until crumbly.<\/li>\n
                    3. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry.<\/li>\n
                    4. Score a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Chef’s Tips<\/h2>\n
                          \n
                        • Allow the apple filling to cool completely before assembling to keep the pastry crisp.<\/li>\n
                        • Chill the assembled strudel for 10\u201315 minutes before baking for flakier layers.<\/li>\n
                        • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.<\/li>\n
                        • Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks during baking.<\/li>\n
                        • A serrated knife makes cleaner slices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
