Gather your ingredients to make the filling
1. Wash, core, and pare apples. Cut into slices about 1/8 in. thick and put into bowl with Vanilla extract and 2 Tablespoons brown sugar. Toss lightly to coat slices evenly. Set aside for at least 30 min., tossing occasionally.
2. Mix together white sugar, Cinnamon and Allspice. Blend in 2 Tbs. brown sugar and set this mixture aside.
3. optional you can blend in 1 cup of applesauce to make the filling richer.
3. Chop walnuts and set aside. Grate Lemon peel and set aside. Melt 2 Tbs. butter in skillet and toss dry bread crumbs in butter until thoroughly coated. |
Unroll the Phyllo (filo) sheets |
Keep the filo sheets covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to keep them from drying out while working other steps. |
You can brush the sheets with a little butter or olive oil or even leave the oil and butter out to make it lighter.
I used 7 sheets for each strudel. |
Spread half of the apple filling on the top, leaving 1 inch on the end, otherwise the filling will seep out.
|
Brush the top with butter or olive oil for a richer looking crust. |
Make another strudel with the other 7 sheets of dough. |
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 45 minutes.
This is one that did not use oil or butter , still looks great and lower in calories.
Slice and serve with whipped cream (Schlagsahne) or vanilla ice cream. |
