Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg, beaten
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well and add warm water, oil, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts. Set aside.
- On a floured cloth, roll out dough as thin as possible. Gently stretch with hands until paper-thin, forming a rectangle about 20x15 inches. Trim thick edges.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs over dough, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides. Spread apple mixture over bread crumbs.
- Using the cloth, lift one long side of dough and roll over filling. Tuck ends under. Carefully transfer strudel seam-side down to prepared baking sheet.
- Brush top with melted butter. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Tips
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For extra crispiness, brush with butter halfway through baking.
