Directions
Mix apples with raisins, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon, and almonds.
Set aside. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a kitchen towel and brush witl melted butter.
Place a second sheet on top and brush with butter again.
Repeat until 5 sheets have been used, using about ½ cup of butter.
Cook and stir bread crumbs with ¼ cup of butter until lightly browned.
Sprinkle ¾ cup crumbs on the layered phyllo sheets.
Mound ½ of the filling in a 3-inch strip along the narrow end of the phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border.
Lift towel, using it to roll sheets over apples, jelly roll fashion.
Brush top of the strudel with butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of crumbs.
Repeat the entire procedure for the second strudel.
Bake the strudels at 400℉ (200℃) for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned.
My strudels are done, although the recipe does not mention that all those ingredients are for two strudels rather than one...
The recipe does only make one strudel. I made three small ones instead for easy storage. Either way these strudels are delicious. Thanks for the comment and happy baking :)
So you have 5 sheets od dough with nothing but butter on them and roll it up with the strip of filling on one?
Am I misinterpreting the recipe?
