minutesHow can anyone resist Apple Strudel fresh from the oven? The crisp and flaky crust wrapped around fresh apples and raisins, and the warm aroma of cinnamon and butter is amazing. As a child, I was taught the technique of stretching the dough over a kitchen table, but today I use fillo dough. I love Organic Fillo Dough by The Fillo Factory. It’s made with vegan ingredients and is easy to use. This dough comes in 13" × 18" sheets, which are perfect.
Ingredients
- 5 large Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 tbs
melted butter
- 1/2 cup
unseasoned bread crumbs
- 1 tsp
fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup
granulated sugar
- 1 tbs
cinnamon
- PASTRY INGREDIENTS
- 8 sheets
Fillo Factory Fillo Dough
- 1/2 cup
melted butter
- 1 cup
granulated sugar
- 1 tbs
cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the diced apples, raisins, melted butter, bread crumbs, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and mix well.
- Place one sheet of fillo dough on a large kitchen towel. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Layer and repeat the process using all 8 sheets of dough. Tap down using the backside of a baking sheet.
- Spoon the apple mixture along the long side on the fillo sheets. Roll like a jelly roll. Brush the seam area with melted butter. Transfer onto a parchment paper—covered baking sheet with seam side down. Brush with remaining butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture and bake for 20–30 minutes. Let it set for one hour before slicing with a serrated knife and serving.
- For a variation on this strudel recipe, I often use fresh pears or summer plums.
