Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith recommended)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 75 grams Raisins
- 50 grams Slivered almonds
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 20 grams Powdered sugar
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large bowl.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, raisins, slivered almonds, and lemon juice to the apples. Mix until the apples are evenly coated in the spices and sugars.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean, flat surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter and sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs over the surface. Repeat this layering process with 7 more phyllo sheets, stacking them as you go.
Spread the apple filling evenly along one long edge of the layered phyllo sheets, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space at the edges.
Carefully fold the short edges of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a log. Place the strudel seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the rolled strudel generously with more melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the strudel cool slightly.
Dust the strudel with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
