• Brush some of the melted butter along the 1” edge of the pastry to help seal.
• Fold the other half over the mix and pinch to seal the edges together tightly.
• Brush the entire strudel with the melted butter.
• Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and remaining sugar.
• Using a sharp knife, make 3 diagonal slits across the top of the strudel.
