Ingredients

• 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 60 grams Sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 60 ml Water
• 5 medium Green apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 80 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 60 grams Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 50 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 30 grams Icing sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Whisk the egg and water together, then gradually add to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside while preparing the filling.

Step 5

Peel, core, and thinly slice the green apples. Place in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 6

Add brown sugar, ground cinnamon, raisins, and cornstarch to the apples and mix well.

Step 7

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick.

Step 8

Sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 9

Spread the apple mixture evenly over the breadcrumbs.

Step 10

Carefully roll the dough over the filling, starting from the long edge, to form a log. Pinch the ends to seal.

Step 11

Transfer the strudel to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush the top with melted butter.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar. Slice and serve warm.
