Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas Mark 5
- Apple - Wash, peel, and core the apples. Chop each into half, then quarters, then slice each quarter into three slices.1 lb Apples
- Apple filling - Add all the filling ingredients along with the sliced apples. Combine well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside.1 tbsp Lemon juice, 2 tbsp Fresh orange juice, ¼ tsp Kosher salt, ¾ cup Brown sugar, ½ tsp Cinnamon, ¼ tsp Nutmeg , ½ cup Chopped Dried fruit , ½ cup Chopped nuts
- Prepare filo - Open the filo on a clean work surface. Brush melted butter over each filo and sprinkle with finely chopped nuts or breadcrumbs one at a time. I like to do mine like an open book, as shown in the video.6 - 7 Filo pastry sheets, 4 tbsp Unsalted butter melted, 4 tbsp Breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup Chopped nuts
- Filling - Add the remaining breadcrumbs to the apples. Combine well. Pile the apple mixture onto the filo towards one side, leaving two inches away from the edges so you can fold the sides.
- Fold - Wrap the apples in the filo like a parcel, folding the edges over the apples. Then, roll over and tuck the edges under so the weight of the apples is on top. This will prevent the strudel from opening.
- Bake - Place the strudel on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam-side down. Brush the top with melted butter. Bake on the center rack for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool - Let cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then immediately transfer to a platter. When cooled, dust with powdered sugar.2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- Enjoy!
