Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 75 grams Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 50 grams Chopped pecans
• 50 grams Golden raisins
• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 25 grams Breadcrumbs
• 10 grams Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the apples. Mix well to evenly coat the apple slices.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped pecans and golden raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the apple mixture. Set aside.

Step 5

On a clean surface, lay out a sheet of phyllo pastry. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the sheet with melted butter. Sprinkle a small amount of breadcrumbs evenly over the sheet.

Step 6

Layer another phyllo pastry sheet on top of the first, brush with butter, and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat this process until all 8 sheets are layered.

Step 7

Spoon the apple filling evenly along one long edge of the stacked phyllo sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space from the edges.

Step 8

Carefully fold the short edges of the pastry inward over the filling to seal the ends, then tightly roll the strudel from the long edge like a jelly roll.

Step 9

Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with additional melted butter.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut 3-4 small slits on top of the strudel to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the phyllo is golden and flaky.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the strudel to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.

Step 13

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your unique twist on apple strudel!
