Ingredients

• 4 medium apples (preferably Granny Smith)
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons raisins (optional)
• 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
• 6 pieces phyllo dough sheets (thawed)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons 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, then place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, raisins (if using), and chopped nuts (if using) to the apples. Toss well to combine.

Step 4

Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and repeat the buttering process until all six sheets are stacked.

Step 5

Evenly sprinkle breadcrumbs over the phyllo dough stack, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges to help avoid soggy pastry.

Step 6

Spoon the apple mixture lengthwise along one side of the phyllo stack, leaving the 2-inch border intact.

Step 7

Carefully fold the shorter edges of the phyllo over the filling. Starting from the side with the filling, gently roll the dough into a log shape.

Step 8

Transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down.

Step 9

Brush the top of the strudel with melted butter for a golden, flaky finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the strudel is golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
