QUICK APPLE AND PECAN STRUDEL WITH CINNAMON



Quick apple and pecan strudel with cinnamon image

A proper, fast pud this nutty, spiced apple strudel recipe with cranberries is a winner in winter

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     Quick fixes     Fruit     Dinner Party     Desserts     Puddings & desserts     Baking

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4-5 small sweet eating apples
½ lemon, juice of
80 g butter
4 sheets filo pastry
150 g pecan nuts, chopped
ground cinnamon
150 g dark muscovado sugar
60 g caster sugar
1 handful dried cranberries
good-quality vanilla ice cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly, and put them in a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice to stop them going brown. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat and keep warm.
  • Carefully cut the filo pasty into 30 x 50cm sheets with a knife. Mix the pecans, cinnamon and dark muscovado sugar together.
  • Lay the first sheet of filo pasty on a clean tea towel on your work surface and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle over a third of the pecan mixture. Lay another sheet of filo pastry on top, brush with butter and sprinkle again with a third of the pecan mixture. Repeat with the third sheet and top everything with the fourth sheet.
  • Drain your apples well and toss with the caster sugar and drained cranberries. Spread them out along one edge of the top sheet of filo pastry. Brush the opposite edge with a little water. Starting at the edge with the apple mixture on, gently lift the edge of the tea towel and use it to help you roll the pastry up lengthways like a Swiss roll - the apples will end up at the centre. Once it's all rolled up, press your strudel together gently.
  • Place it on a baking try and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with some good vanilla ice cream.
  • Try making the strudel with a little ground ginger and cloves for a lovely twist.

APPLE STRUDEL



Apple Strudel image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups apple juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 pound apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup dark seedless raisins
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans
4 sheets phyllo dough
1/3 cup (5 1/3 tablespoons) melted butter
3 tablespoons fine dried breadcrumbs
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, create a slurry by combining 1/4 cup of the apple juice with the cornstarch. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the apples with the remaining 1 cup apple juice, raisins, sugar and cinnamon until the apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the cornstarch slurry (it may have settled) and add it to the apple mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and lump free. Simmer for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the pecans, cover and chill.
  • Lay out 1 phyllo sheet on a clean, flat, lightly floured surface. Brush with some melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs. Repeat this procedure with two more layers of phyllo, butter and breadcrumbs. Top with the fourth sheet of phyllo. Spread the apple filling evenly onto the phyllo surface, leaving a 1/2-inch clean edge on all sides. Roll into a log, folding the edges at each end beneath the log and brush with some melted butter. Carefully place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake the strudel until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 2-inch slices. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Serve plain or with ice cream.

Yield 12 to 15 strudels

1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1 (14-ounce) can apple pie filling (cut apple slices if large)
1 stick butter
1 sprig sage
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 package thawed phyllo dough sheets

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan over medium heat, toast the pecans until golden in color, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the raisins and the apple filling. Reserve.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and the sage. When the butter has melted, remove the sage. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

  • Cut the phyllo stacks into thirds. Put approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple filling at the tip of the strip closest to you. Fold the phyllo into triangles by repeatedly folding to the right, then up to the left, and repeat until you reach the end of the strip, making sure to keep the shape of a triangle. Repeat with remaining 2 strips of phyllo. Brush the last triangle fold with butter to seal. Brush the tops of triangles with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Repeat the process until all the filling has been used. Arrange the phyllo triangles on a sheet pan that has been lined with parchment paper, and bake until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the strudels to a serving platter and serve.
