Apple Strudel
"A yummy recipe from Beyond Parsley cookbook. This makes 2 strudel rolls. If you're not familiar with phyllo dough. It can be delicate. I unroll the phyllo sheets and keep them covered with a slightly damp, clean kitchen towel - taking out 1 sheet at a time to work with. This keeps your phyllo from drying out. Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter on the phyllo sheets."

This strudel is delicious and easy to make! I cut the recipe in half and used 21 oz. of granny smith apples . The sugar was the perfect amount - not too sweet. I used the full amount of cinnamon and an extra pinch of nutmeg. I was low on walnut so used walnuts and pecans in the filling and ground almonds between the phyllo layer.

This is so good!! I used Granny Smith apples and didn't have ground walnuts for the layers so used finely chopped walnuts. This was so simple to make and produces a very nice breakfast pastry or dessert. Was going to make just one roll, but glad I made two since I could probably eat a whole one myself! :) Made for Down on the Farm Tag.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
