Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350º. Prepare 9x13 glass baking dish by spraying it generously with Pam.
2. In large mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients (except Phyllo dough and butter).
3. Roll out Phyllo dough and separate Phyllo sheets into 2 halves. Use a pastry brush to spread butter onto each pastry sheet (I usually fold the stack in half and brush butter onto one side and then the other).
4. Spread ½ of the apple mixture into the Phyllo dough. Roll lengthwise and tuck edges. Place roll into the prepared baking dish.
5. Repeat step 4 with 2nd stack of Phyllo dough and remaining ½ of apple mixture.
6. Brush strudel rolls with melted butter and top with cinnamon sugar.
7. Bake for 60 minutes or until browned on top and bubbling with goodness. |

Notes: This is an updated recipe of you Great-grandma Doll's homemade apple strudel, handed down to me from Grandma Doll. I like to make 1 roll with hazelnuts and Craisins and 1 without. Dad loves this every year for his birthday! Here is the recipe for hand-stretched strudel dough (which I've never tried!):
4 cups flour
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp vinegar (plus water to 1 cup)
Instructions: Mix well. Knead until smooth and silky (about 15 minutes). Stretch dough until it's thin and roughly the size of a kitchen table. Spread with filling and roll up. Put in greased pan and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Bake for 60 minutes at 350.
