Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place apples in a large bowl with raisins. Whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle over apples and raisins and toss to evenly coat.
- Arrange a sheet of phyllo on a large, flat surface with the shorter side toward you. Brush with melted butter and arrange another sheet on top. Repeat, alternating butter and phyllo, until there are 6 layers, then brush the top layer with butter.
- Evenly arrange apple-raisin mixture on phyllo, leaving a 1-1/2-inch border at the top and sides. Begin to roll the phyllo away from you, folding in the sides as you roll. When you've rolled up the entire pastry, brush any exposed phyllo with butter.
- Place the strudel seam side down on the prepared baking sheet, brush again with butter (you may have a little left over), and cut 4 (1-inch) diagonal slits into the top just through the phyllo. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 350°F and bake until the apples are knife tender and the juices are bubbling, about 30 to 40 minutes more. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Make the strudels:
- In a small skillet cook the bread crumbs in 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until they are golden and transfer them to a large bowl. To the bread crumbs add the apples, the granulated sugar, the raisins, and the cinnamon and toss the mixture well. On a work surface arrange an 18-inch-long-piece of wax paper with a long side facing you, cover it with 1 sheet of the phyllo, and brush the phyllo lightly with some of the remaining butter, melted. Layer 5 more sheets of the phyllo over the first sheet in the same manner, brushing each sheet lightly with some of the melted butter, and mound half the apple mixture evenly along the long side facing you, leaving a 2-inch border at each end. Using the wax paper as a guide and rolling away from you, roll up the strudel tightly and, with the seam side down, fold the ends under to enclose the filling. Transfer the strudel carefully to a lightly buttered jelly-roll pan and brush it with some of the remaining melted butter. Make another strudel with the remaining phyllo, melted butter, and apple filling in the same manner and transfer it to the jelly-roll pan. Bake the strudels in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are golden, and let them cool to warm in the pan on the rack. The strudels may be made 1 day in advanced and kept covered loosely at room temperature. Reheat the strudels in a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 minutes. Transfer the strudels with slotted spatulas carefully to serving platters and dust them with the confectioners' sugar.
- Make the whipped cream:
- In a chilled bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream with the sour cream, the confectioners' sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture holds soft peaks and transfer it to a serving bowl.
- Serve the strudels warm, sliced diagonally, with the whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the apples into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly.
- Be sure to remove the core and seeds from the apples before slicing them.
- If you don't have any raisins, you can substitute currants or dried cranberries.
- You can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple mixture for extra flavor.
- If you want a sweeter strudel, you can brush the puff pastry with melted butter and sprinkle it with sugar before baking.
- Serve the strudel warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Apple strudel is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its flaky pastry, sweet apple filling, and warm spices, apple strudel is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
