Apple Strudel
Apple Strudel is a traditional dessert prepared from stretched dough filled with grated apples and spices.
Ingredients
- 500 g wheat flour
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 250 ml lukewarm water
- 50 ml vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
For apple filling:
- 1-2 kg apples
- 1 lemon
- 150 g butter
- cinnamon
- sugar
- 80 g bread crumbs
Instructions
- Use a food processor to mix well an egg with the flour and oil, then add lukewarm water with salt and vinegar. Continue mixing and slowly add water into the mixture.
- Transfer it to a floury surface and knead with your hands until nicely soft and smooth dough.
- Transfer it to a large bowl, sprinkle some oil over the dough, cover it and leave it aside in a warm area to rice for 30-40 minutes.
- Prepare the apples, wash them, grate them and sue some lemon juice over to prevent the apples from turning brown. Then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar.
- Place a frying pan over medium heat and add butter and after it melts add breadcrumbs and stir well.
- Preheat the oven to 200° C.
- Transfer the ready dough on a flat floury surface and roll it out to get a very thin layer.
- Add apples on 1/3 of the dough layer, sprinkle some part of the roasted breadcrumbs in the middle then the rest to the edges and roll in.
- Pock it with a fork or tooth stick to remove any trapped air inside. Spread with melted butter or vegetable oil and put into preheated oven.
- Brush with melted butter on top, transfer it to a baking dish with baking paper at the bottom and place it in the oven, and bake for 1 hour.
