Classic Apple, Walnut, and Raisin Strudel

I hadn't made this traditional German pastry recipe in many years. I inherited this recipe from my mother, but I used a little trick—I didn't make the dough like she did; instead, I used phyllo dough. This saved me a lot of work since the dough is very delicate to knead. I hope you enjoy this recipe and feel inspired to prepare this delicious dessert.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Mix with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Melt the butter. Wash and dry the raisins.
- 2
Dampen a clean kitchen towel with cold water and lay 2 sheets of phyllo dough on it. Brush with the melted butter and repeat the process until all the phyllo sheets are used.
- 3
Put 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan and sauté the breadcrumbs and walnuts for a few minutes.
- 4
Spread this mixture over the phyllo sheets, then add the apples, raisins, two tablespoons of sugar, and sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
- 5
Use the towel to help roll it into a tight roll so the filling doesn't escape.
- 6
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the seam is facing down. Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for about 45 minutes. If it's not golden enough, use the broiler for a few minutes.
- 7
Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. I recommend consuming it the same day to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.

California Farm Apple Strudel, Traditional or Gluten Free California Farm Apple Strudel, Traditional or Gluten Free
Family recipe, always been vegetarian. Granny Smith apples grow here, we make apple cider and grow table grapes to dry into raisins. The equipment we use is from 1903, to peel and slice, core, and dry apples with. For Strudels, I use fresh apples that are kept cooled. For my daughter, I make a second gluten and sugar free version mentioned in here. Hobby Horseman -
