- 1 Package of Filo dough
- 3/4 to 1 stick of butter, melted
- 1 cup of toasted panko breadcrumbs (I forgot to toast them and it was fine)
- 2 green apples, peeled and sliced thin
- 1/2 tsp.cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large clean kitchen towel (used to roll strudel)
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a dish.
3. Place one filo sheet onto the towel, then brush lightly with butter.
4. Repeat the buttering and laying until 6 sheets are stacked one on top of the other.
5. Place apples on prepared filo layers that have been brushed with butter. Start spreading apples about 3 inches from the edge closest to you (you need a clean area so you can get it in the pan. Completely cover the rest of the filo dough with apples. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar mix over the apples. Now take the edge of the towel near you and slowly start to make a big roll by pulling up and towards you. This is not as hard as it sounds. As you are rolling it you can roll it right into a greased pan. Check out this youtube video, about 8:40 into the video. It shows how to roll the dough up.
6. Tuck the ends of the strudel underneath itself. Brush top with more butter and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Brush after 20 min. with butter. Strudel is done when it looks a nice golden brown.
7.Cool and cut into slices and dust with powderd sugar.
You can vary the filling by adding chopped walnuts, or raisins. If you add raisins you must first soften them in hot water and then dry them before using.
