Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 125 milliliters water
• 40 milliliters vegetable oil
• 50 grams butter
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 1 kilogram apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 100 grams sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 50 grams raisins
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the water and vegetable oil, then knead into a smooth and elastic dough. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 3

Melt 30 grams of butter in a pan, add the breadcrumbs, and stir until they are golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Step 4

Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.

Step 5

Cover a large surface with a clean kitchen towel and dust it generously with flour. Roll out the dough as thinly as possible, then carefully stretch it with your hands to make it paper-thin.

Step 6

Brush the dough with 10 grams of melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the toasted breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Spread the apple filling evenly over two-thirds of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 8

Using the towel to help, carefully roll up the strudel from the filled side, tucking in the edges as you go, similar to a jelly roll. Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Brush the top of the strudel with the remaining melted butter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm.
