Easy Apple Strudel image

My family always loves it when I make this wonderful dessert. Old-fashioned strudel was too fattening and time-consuming, but this revised classic is just as good. It's best served warm from the oven. -Joanie Fuson, Indianapolis, Indiana

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup raisins
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups coarsely chopped peeled apples
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)
Confectioners' sugar, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Place raisins, water and extract in a large microwave-save bowl; microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain. Add apples, 1/3 cup sugar, flour and cinnamon; toss to combine., In a small bowl, mix melted butter and oil; remove 2 teaspoons mixture for brushing top. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush lightly with some of the butter mixture. (Keep remaining remaining phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Layer with 7 additional phyllo sheets, brushing each layer with some of the butter mixture. Spread apple mixture over phyllo to within 2 in. of 1 long side., Fold the short edges over filling. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from the side with a 2-in. border. Transfer to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush with reserved butter mixture; sprinkle with remaining sugar. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits in top of strudel., Bake until golden brown, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

This apple strudel was easy to make and turned out great! The only problem I had was that the strudel was a little too brown on the bottom. I think I will try baking it on a lower rack next time.

I made this apple strudel for my family and they loved it! The only change I made was to use a different type of apples. I used Granny Smith apples and they were tart and delicious. Thanks for the great recipe!
