Notes

Soaking the raisins in the rum really adds a fantastic flavor. I suggest you don’t skip it! But you can substitute the rum with water if you prefer.
Cut your apples small so they cook throughout.
Depending on what is in season, experiment with making different fruit strudels.
Phyllo dough dries out in minutes, so be sure to keep the dough you’re not working with under a damp cloth.
Serve with my Creme Anglaise, Whipped Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, or Caramel Sauce.
