Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly, and put them in a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice to stop them going brown. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and keep warm.
- Carefully cut the filo pasty into 30 x 50cm sheets with a knife. Mix the pecans, cinnamon and dark muscovado sugar together.
- Lay the first sheet of filo pasty on a clean tea towel on your work surface and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle over a third of the pecan mixture. Lay another sheet of filo pastry on top, brush with butter and sprinkle again with a third of the pecan mixture. Repeat with the third sheet and top everything with the fourth sheet.
- Drain your apples well and toss with the caster sugar and drained cranberries. Spread them out along one edge of the top sheet of filo pastry. Brush the opposite edge with a little water. Starting at the edge with the apple mixture on, gently lift the edge of the tea towel and use it to help you roll the pastry up lengthways like a Swiss roll - the apples will end up at the centre. Once it's all rolled up, press your strudel together gently.
- Place it on a baking try and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with some good vanilla ice cream.
- Try making the strudel with a little ground ginger and cloves for a lovely twist.

Steps:
- In a small saute pan over medium heat, toast the pecans until golden in color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the raisins and the apple filling. Reserve.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and the sage. When the butter has melted, remove the sage. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
- Unwrap the phyllo sheets and cover with a moist towel. Put 1 sheet on a cutting board and brush with the melted butter, put another sheet on top and brush with butter, then put a third sheet on top and brush with butter. *Cook's Note: Set the phyllo aside, covered with a moist towel until ready to use again.
- Cut the phyllo stacks into thirds. Put approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple filling at the tip of the strip closest to you. Fold the phyllo into triangles by repeatedly folding to the right, then up to the left, and repeat until you reach the end of the strip, making sure to keep the shape of a triangle. Repeat with remaining 2 strips of phyllo. Brush the last triangle fold with butter to seal. Brush the tops of triangles with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Repeat the process until all the filling has been used. Arrange the phyllo triangles on a sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper, and bake until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the strudels to a serving platter and serve.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help ensure that the baking process goes smoothly and efficiently.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your strudel. Use fresh, ripe apples and pecans for the best flavor.
- Work Quickly: Strudel dough can be delicate, so it's important to work quickly when assembling the strudel. This will help prevent the dough from tearing.
- Don't Overfill the Strudel: Be careful not to overfill the strudel, as this can make it difficult to fold and seal. A good rule of thumb is to fill the strudel no more than 2/3 full.
- Brush the Strudel with Egg Wash: Before baking, brush the strudel with egg wash. This will help give the strudel a golden brown crust.
- Serve Warm: Strudel is best served warm. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
