Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 2 For the strudel, mix egg and water together in a bowl. Set aside.
- 3 Beat cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice together in another bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- 4 Roll each pastry sheet into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture down the center of a long side of each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border at the top and bottom. Top each cream cheese layer with 1/2 of the cherries and 1/2 of the walnuts.
- 5 Fold opposite long ends of each pastry sheet over filling, brushing edges with reserved egg mixture to seal. Tuck short ends underneath, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Make several diagonal cuts over strudels to vent filling. Brush the tops of strudels with egg wash.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool strudels on baking sheet set on a wire rack, at least 30 minutes.
- 7 For the glaze, whisk confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until desired thickness. Drizzle over strudels.
