  • 1/3 cup lukewarm water
  • pinch of salt
For the Filling
  • 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and cut into small strips
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons rum
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In your stand mixer, combine the melted butter, flour, salt, and water. Mix for 1 minute until a smooth and stretchy dough forms.
  2. In a small saucepan with a lid, bring water to a boil. Then, remove the pot from the heat, pour out the water, and wipe clean. Line the warm pot with parchment paper, move the dough into the pot, and cover with the lid. Let the dough sit for 30 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the raisins and rum. Let this sit for 30 minutes and then drain any excess rum.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the apples and lemon juice.
  6. Next, stir in the cinnamon, sugar, raisins, almonds, and vanilla extract and set aside.
  7. Then, sprinkle flour on a clean surface and, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle as thin as you can. Brush with melted butter.
  8. Leaving about 2 inches on all sides of the dough, fill the middle of the rectangle with a thin layer of breadcrumbs.
  9. Next, pile the apple filling on top of the breadcrumbs.
  10. To assemble, fold in the short sides of the rectangle over the apple filling and then roll the long side until your strudel is closed.
  11. Carefully transfer your strudel to the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down and brush with melted butter.
  12. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until lightly golden brown and the bottom of the crust has cooked through. Brush the strudel with remaining melted butter every 20 minutes while it is baking.
  13. After baking, let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
  14. Finally, add a dusting of confectioner’s sugar and serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can store Apple Strudel at room temperature, covered, for up to two days, or refrigerated for up to five days. To maintain freshness, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. To freeze, you can wrap it securely in both plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It will stay good for up to three months.
  • To reheat, thaw if frozen, then warm in an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through, which will help crisp up the pastry.
