APPLE STRUDEL

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups apple juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 pound apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup dark seedless raisins
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans
4 sheets phyllo dough
1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) melted butter
3 tablespoons fine dried breadcrumbs
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, create a slurry by combining 1/4 cup of the apple juice with the cornstarch. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the apples with the remaining 1 cup apple juice, raisins, sugar and cinnamon until the apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the cornstarch slurry (it may have settled) and add it to the apple mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and lump free. Simmer for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the pecans, cover and chill.
  • Lay out 1 phyllo sheet on a clean, flat, lightly floured surface. Brush with some melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs. Repeat this procedure with two more layers of phyllo, butter and breadcrumbs. Top with the fourth sheet of phyllo. Spread the apple filling evenly onto the phyllo surface, leaving a 1/2-inch clean edge on all sides. Roll into a log, folding the edges at each end beneath the log and brush with some melted butter. Carefully place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake the strudel until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 2-inch slices. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Serve plain or with ice cream.

EASY APPLE STRUDEL



Easy Apple Strudel image

My family always loves it when I make this wonderful dessert. Old-fashioned strudel was too fattening and time-consuming, but this revised classic is just as good. It's best served warm from the oven. -Joanie Fuson, Indianapolis, Indiana

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings.

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. This will give your strudel a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
  • Don't overwork the dough: The dough should be just barely mixed together. If you overwork it, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The dough should be about 1/8-inch thick. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overfill the strudel: The filling should be spread evenly over the dough, but it shouldn't be so thick that the strudel can't be rolled up.
  • Bake the strudel until it is golden brown: This will take about 30-35 minutes. You can check to see if it's done by inserting a toothpick into the center of the strudel. If it comes out clean, the strudel is done.

Conclusion:

Apple strudel is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just a casual treat, apple strudel is sure to be a hit.
