My husband loves any dessert made with apples. Today I made a simple apple strudel. I have made strudel pastry in the past but today I used Filo Pastry for speed. Homemade strudel pastry is time consuming though worth the effort!
INGREDIENTS
Pack of filo pastry
Melted butter
Cooking apples
Caster sugar
Lemon juice and grated zest
Cinnamon
Ground Almonds or breadcrumbs
Sultanas (optional)
METHOD
Prepare the apples and place in a bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and grated zest. Stir well.
Add the ground almonds or breadcrumbs and sultanas, if using.
Set aside whilst you prepare the pastry.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan and brush the sheets of pastry with the melted butter.
I used a tranche tin and lined the base and sides with three sheets of buttered pastry, leaving the excess overhanging the edges.
Place the prepared filling on top of the pastry and fold the excess pastry over the top.
Bake in a hot oven 210C for ten minutes then reduce the temperature to 180C and cover with foil to prevent over browning.
When the apple is cooked (pierce with a skewer to test) remove from the oven and sieve icing sugar over the top.
Serve sliced with clotted, double cream or vanilla custard.
Delicious! Enjoy.
