Ingredients
Strudel dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup water
- 2½ tbsp peanut oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Filling
- 3 apples
- 2 cup raisins
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp apricot jam
- 1 cup crumbled digestive biscuits or breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp rum
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 beaten egg
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, oil, and then add the water, a little at a time. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Soak the raisins in the rum with the same quantity of water. Peel, core, and dice the apples. In a bowl combine the apples with the sugar, the raisins, the rum, and the melted butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside in the fridge.
- On a pastry board lay down a kitchen towel, sprinkle with flour, and roll the dough as thin as 1/8 inch (2-3mm).
- Sprinkle the dough with breadcrumbs or a few crumbled biscuits in order to soak up the liquid from the apples.
- Pile the apple filling on the breadcrumbs.
- Then roll up the strudel with the help of the towel.
- Seal the edges with a little beaten egg.
- Transfer the strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with some beaten egg, and dust with a mix of sugar and cinnamon. Make some diagonal incisions on the top to let the steam escape. Brush the top with a little melted butter.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 40 minutes. Have the strudel either warm or cold.
