Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the Apples:

Step 3

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.

Step 4

Toss the apple slices with lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to macerate.

Step 5

If you're using raisins, you can soak them in rum during this time.

Step 6

Prepare the Filling:

Step 7

Drain the raisins if using, and mix them with the breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Assemble the Strudel:

Step 9

Lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean, dry surface. Brush it generously with melted butter.

Step 10

Place another sheet of phyllo pastry on top and repeat the process until you have 4 sheets stacked on each other, brushing each layer with butter.

Step 11

Sprinkle the breadcrumb-raisin mixture evenly over the top sheet of phyllo pastry.

Step 12

Add the Apple Mixture:

Step 13

Place the apple slices evenly over the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 14

Carefully fold in the sides of the phyllo pastry and roll it up from the bottom, creating a strudel shape. Make sure the ends are sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out.
