Apple Strudel Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 cups sliced tart apples
• 3/4 c. raisins
• 1 tsp. grated lemon rind
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 3/4 cups ground almonds or filberts (hazel nuts)
• 1/2 box (16 oz. size) frozen fillo leaves, thawed
• 1 3/4 cups butter, melted
• 1 c. fine graham cracker crumbs

Mix apple with raisins, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon and almonds. Set aside.

Place 1 fillo leaf on a kitchen towel and brush with melted butter. Place second leaf on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until 5 leaves have been used, using about 1/2 cup butter. Cook and stir the bread crumbs with 1/4 cup butter until lightly browned. Sprinkle 3/8 cup crumbs on the layered fill leaves. Mound 1/2 of the filling in a 3 inch strip along the narrow edge of the fillo leaving a 2 inch border. Lift towel using it to roll leaves over apples, jelly-roll fashion. Brush strudel with butter after each turn.
