Ingredients and Substitutions
- Pastry sheets- we're using store-bought puff pastry sheets here to make this recipe easy! I used Pepperidge Farm brand which you can find in the freezer section of most grocery stores. Use leftovers to make turkey pot pie with puff pastry!
- Berries- this recipe calls for frozen mixed berries. You can also use fresh but I really like the way frozen berries easily melt down into a jam. Use leftover frozen berries to make a Triple Berry Crisp!
- Lemon juice- you'll use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to help offset the sugar and add a little acidity to the jam.
- Cornstarch- cornstarch helps to thicken the jam so it is not runny.
See the recipe card below for the remaining ingredients and quantities.
Instructions
- Begin by making the berry filling. Heat the frozen berries, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a pan on the stove. Stir in the cornstarch to thicken, remove from the heat and let cool.
- Fill the pastry sheets. Spread out the pastry sheets and fill the centers with a few spoonfuls of the fruit filling. Seal all sides of the pastries and brush with an egg wash. Cook the homemade toaster strudels in a single layer in the air fryer until golden. Be sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn!
- Make the glaze. Mix the sugar and milk in a bowl until smooth. Top the pastries with the glaze and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
Can I bake these in the oven?
Yes! If you don't have an air fryer or prefer to use an oven, bake the toaster strudels on a baking sheet in the oven at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden.
Which is the best air fryer to use?
There are so many different air fryers these days. Any air fryer will work to make these air fryer toaster strudels. If you are in the market for one, I recommend the NuWave Brio 15.5qt Digital Air Fryer or NuWave Brio 6-Quart Digital Air Fryer depending on how much you are cooking in the air fryer and how large your family is.
Top Tips
- All air fryer models are different. The cooking time can easily vary depending on the air fryer brand and model that you use. I used a NuWave Brio with an air fryer basket for this recipe. Some models have trays. The toaster strudels are ready when they are golden brown and flakey.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about 4 days in an airtight container. Freeze the toaster strudels in a freezer-safe container for about 2 months.
- Defrost frozen toaster strudels in the fridge then reheat in the oven, air fryer or toaster oven for a few minutes until warm.
Serving
Serve these sweet treats with your favorite cup of coffee for the ideal breakfast. Add some fresh fruit or serve on the side of your favorite egg dish for a more complete meal.
