Equipment Needed 

• Air Fryer
• Measuring cups (1/2 and 3/4 cup)
• Measuring spoons (tablespoon and teaspoon)
• Knife
• Spatula

Toaster Strudel Air Fryer Recipe Ingredients

• 2 sheets of puff pastry
• 3/4 cup of strawberry jam (or try one of our homemade jam recipes)
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla 

How To Make a Toaster Strudel in the Air Fryer

Here’s everything you need to make our Toaster Strudel Air Fryer recipe.

First, cut the puff pastry into evenly-sized rectangles. If you’re using store-bought sheets, the sheets come folded. Cut the folded brick in half, and then unfold, and cut along the folds. This will give you 12 evenly-sized sheets.

Now, take one sheet of the pastry, and place a tablespoon of jam in the middle, leaving 1/2 inch of the border along all sides. With water on your fingertip, dampen the pastries’ borders. Sandwich blank pastry treats on top of the jammed pastry sheet. Then, press down the edges of the sheets sealing the jam in.

Be sure not to overfill the pastries, or the filling will ooze out while they cook–still tasty, but not as pretty!

Place two pastries in the air fryer basket (or more if your air fryer has the room), and cook at 350 degrees, turning once.

Top your pastries with a glaze of powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. I can almost taste this strawberry strudel now!

Frequently Asked Questions

How To Store Left Over Toaster Strudel 

These air fryer toaster strudels can be stored at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them after they’ve cooled if you plan to eat them later. Just remember to allow time for them to thaw before eating.

What Can I Use Instead of Puff Pastry?

Puff pastry is best for this strudel recipe. If you want to try something else, consider using crescent roll dough. The final result may not be quite as flaky, but they’ll still taste amazing.

Can I Freeze These Toaster Strudels?

Yes! After air frying and allowing to cool, place each toaster strudel in a freezer bag. You can freeze your toaster strudels for up to three months before they begin to lose flavor and texture. Just remember to thaw them out at room temperature or in the microwave when you are ready to eat.

If you’ve found yourself craving the taste of freshly-made strudel, but didn’t want to use your oven, then this is the recipe for you. In no time at all you’ll be enjoying that sweet jam filling with all of those delicious layers of pastry–without even using your oven!
