Easy Apple Strudel Food

GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Place flour in a mixer bowl; beat in 1/4 cup oil (mixture will be slightly crumbly). In a small bowl, slowly whisk warm water into beaten egg; add to flour mixture, mixing well. Beat in remaining oil until smooth. Transfer to a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rest in a warm place, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 350°. Spread bread crumbs into an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool completely., Tape a 30x15-in. sheet of parchment onto a work surface; dust lightly with flour. Divide dough in half; place 1 portion on parchment and roll to a very thin 24x15-in. rectangle. (Keep remaining dough covered.) Remove tape from parchment., Sprinkle 3/4 cup bread crumbs over rectangle to within 1 in. of edges. Starting 3 in. from a short side, sprinkle 3 cups apples and 1/4 cup raisins over a 3-in.-wide section of dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of the mixture over fruit. Drizzle with half of the melted butter., Roll up jelly-roll style, starting at fruit-covered end and lifting with parchment; fold in sides of dough as you roll to contain filling. Using parchment, transfer strudel to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; trim parchment to fit pan., Bake on lowest oven rack 45-55 minutes or until golden brown, brushing top with sour cream 2 times while baking. Repeat with remaining ingredients., Using parchment, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat 75g of the sugar and the vanilla seeds in a medium, heavy-based frying pan over a medium-low heat for 5-8 mins, or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the apples, currants, sultanas, allspice, nutmeg and walnuts, then cook for 10 mins or until the apple is tender. Remove the apple mix from the pan with a slotted spoon and cool to room temperature.
• Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place a sheet of filo on one of the trays, then brush lightly with the melted butter. Sprinkle over 1 tsp sugar. Repeat the process until there are 3 layers of filo. Repeat with the remaining sheets of filo on the second tray.
• Divide the apple mix along the shorter edge of both pastry sheets and gently roll into 2 logs, tucking in the ends as you go. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle over 1 tbsp sugar. Can be made up to one day ahead, kept chilled. Bake for 25 mins, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly, then cut each strudel into 6 diagonal slices. Serve two slices each with a dollop of crème fraîche on the side.

APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, create a slurry by combining 1/4 cup of the apple juice with the cornstarch. Mix until smooth and set aside.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the apples with the remaining 1 cup apple juice, raisins, sugar and cinnamon until the apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir the cornstarch slurry (it may have settled) and add it to the apple mixture, stirring constantly until smooth and lump free. Simmer for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in the pecans, cover and chill.
• Lay out 1 phyllo sheet on a clean, flat, lightly floured surface. Brush with some melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs. Repeat this procedure with two more layers of phyllo, butter and breadcrumbs. Top with the fourth sheet of phyllo. Spread the apple filling evenly onto the phyllo surface, leaving a 1/2-inch clean edge on all sides. Roll into a log, folding the edges at each end beneath the log and brush with some melted butter. Carefully place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake the strudel until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 2-inch slices. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving. Serve plain or with ice cream.

• Spoon half the apple mixture down one short side of phyllo stack, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold over both long sides of phyllo, then roll up, starting at apple-topped short side. Place, seam side down, on parchment-covered baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and apple mixture. Brush with butter. Cut diagonal slits in top of each.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Add the flour, a pinch of salt, egg, and oil to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
• Mix everything together using the spiral dough hooks of your electric mixer while slowly adding the lukewarm water. Keep mixing for approximately 5 minutes until the dough has an elastic consistency and sticks together.
• Shape the dough into a ball using your hands. Brush all sides of the ball of dough with one teaspoon of oil and place it back into the bowl. Cover the bowl with a dishtowel and let the dough rest on the counter for 30 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the filling. First, melt three tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the breadcrumbs and fry them on medium heat until golden brown. Stir regularly. Once they are golden brown, remove them from the heat and set them aside.
• Next, peel the apples. Then cut them into quarters and remove the core. Cut each quarter into thin slices. Then cut these slices into small pieces (see process photo above for reference).
• Place the small apple pieces into a medium-large mixing bowl. Also add the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, rum, raisins, and browned breadcrumbs to the bowl and mix everything together. You can also decide to not add the breadcrumbs now and keep them separate. It's easier to mix everything together but adding them separately from the apples can make for a slightly more moist filling (because the breadcrumbs don't soak up as much juice from the apples during baking).
• Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Once you're done with preparing the filling and the 30 minute dough rest time is up, take a finely-threaded large dish towel (that will not give off small threads/fibers/"fuzzies"), sprinkle some flour onto it, and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Use more flour as needed. Then carefully stretch out the dough with your hand until it has a dimension of approximately 24 x 17 inches. Be gentle so you don't rip the dough.
• Once the dough is rolled out thin and you can see the dishtowel through the dough, gently brush some melted butter (approximately 1 tablespoon) onto the whole surface of the dough.
• Now cover the left side of the rectangle with the filling leaving a gap of approximately 2 inches along the edges. If you didn't mix the breadcrumbs and the apples earlier, first place the breadcrumbs onto the dough and then add the apple-mixture on top of that.
• Fold over the long top and bottom edges, then gently roll up the dough from the left side - the side with the filling - using the dishtowel. Make sure that the seam is at the bottom once you are done rolling.
• Carefully place the strudel onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top and the sides of the dough with some more melted butter.
• Bake the apple strudel on the medium rack of your oven for around 30-40 minutes. Take the strudel out after approximately 15 minutes and brush it with a little bit more melted butter.
• Once the strudel is done baking and lightly browned, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then dust it with powdered sugar. Apple strudel can be served warm or cold and tastes delicious with some homemade vanilla sauce.
