Recipe For Apple Strudel With Filo Pastry

Ingredients

Making your own apple strudel is surprisingly easy and requires only a few simple ingredients. You will need:

6 sheets of filo pastry
200g melted butter
3 apples (grated)
50g raisins
50g chopped mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts)
50g sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
2 tablespoons of coarse breadcrumbs

Instructions

To make your apple strudel with filo pastry, begin by preheating your oven to 350F / 180C. Grease a baking tray with some of the melted butter.

Start by preparing the filling. Mix the grated apples, raisins, nuts, sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest in a bowl and set aside.

Lay out a sheet of filo pastry on a clean work surface and brush with melted butter. Place another sheet of pastry on top and brush with butter again. Continue with the remaining sheets of pastry, brushing each one with butter.

Sprinkle the coarse breadcrumbs over the pastry sheets. Spread the apple filling over the pastry, leaving a 2-3 inch border on all sides. Fold in the sides of the pastry and then carefully roll up the strudel, starting from one of the short ends.

Transfer the strudel to the prepared baking tray and brush the top with the remaining melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

Allow the strudel to cool slightly before serving.
