Serves - 8
Difficulty - easy peasy
Ingredients
- Strudel dough
- 40g/1.4oz. unsalted butter
- 80g/2.8oz. fine bread crumbs
- 65g/2.3oz. granulated sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 900g/31.7oz. sweet-tart apples, such as MacIntosh
- 50g/1.8oz. raisins soften with water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing the dough (divided)
- Confectioner’s sugar for dusting
Method
- In your Whatever Pan, melt the 40g/1.4oz. of butter. Once melted, add in the bread crumbs and stir until it resembles damp sand. Then transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- In another bowl, make some cinnamon sugar by mixing the sugar and cinnamon. Combine the cinnamon sugar with the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Peel and cut your apples thinly.
- In a large bowl, mix the apples, raisins, and lemon juice.
- Dust your surface with flour and roll out your strudel dough into a rectangle till paper-thin and slightly translucent. Flour the surface and the dough every now and then while rolling.
- Lightly flour a tablecloth and place the dough on it. This will prevent sticking and help with the folding of the dough.
- Butter half of the dough with the melted butter and spread the cinnamon sugar mixture on the other half. Be sure to leave 1 inch around the edge. Top the cinnamon sugar mixture with your apples.
- Tuck in the sides and roll up your dough. Roll it onto some parchment paper and place it in your Whatever Pan. Spread the remaining melted butter on the roll.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C/375°F for 30-45 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the apple strudel cool slightly then dust with some icing sugar. Cut yourself a slice and it's ready to be eaten.
