Crisp sheets of phyllo dough surround tender slices of apple in this clever play on strudel. Walnuts and cinnamon enhance that traditional apple pie flavor. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples |
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar |
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
6 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches) |
butter-flavored cooking spray |
confectioners' sugar, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the apples, sugar, walnuts, flour and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface (keep remaining dough covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out). Spray with butter-flavored spray.
3. Fold in half widthwise; spray again with butter-flavored spray. Spoon a scant 1/3 cup filling onto phyllo about 2 in. from a short side. Fold side and edges over filling and roll up. Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat.
4. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits in tops of strudels. Spray strudels with butter-flavored spray. Bake at 350° for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
