Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, sour cream, flour, and raisins (if using). Mix well to coat the apples evenly and to form a thick filling.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat this process until you have layered 6 sheets total.
Spoon half of the apple filling along one long edge of the phyllo layers, leaving a 2-inch border on the sides.
Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling, then carefully roll it up tightly like a jelly roll. Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the layering and filling process with the remaining phyllo sheets and apple filling to create a second strudel.
Brush the tops of both strudels with the remaining melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the strudels are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the strudels to cool for 10-15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
