Ingredients

  • 250 g Flour, Whole wheat

  • 3 spoons Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 125 ml Water

  • 1.5 kg Apple, fresh

  • 80 g Breadcrumbs, dried

  • 15 g Sugar, white

  • 65 g Raisins

  • 65 g Nuts, almonds

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 125 ml Sweet cream

  • 40 g Butter, salted

Steps

  1. Sift the flour onto the work surface. Make a well in the center and pour in the oil, add salt, and enough lukewarm water to knead into a smooth and elastic dough. Shape the dough into a ball, brush it with oil, cover with a warmed bowl, and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  2. Thoroughly wash the raisins. Wash the apples, peel them, and remove the cores. Slice them thinly or coarsely grate them. Add breadcrumbs, sugar, raisins, almonds, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon, and mix everything well. Preheat the oven to 210 °C.

  3. Divide the rested dough into four parts. Roll out each part separately on a floured board. Then transfer it to a floured cloth and stretch it thinly on all sides. Carefully trim the edges of the dough with a knife. Brush the stretched dough with cream, then evenly spread the filling on it, roll it up, and place it in a well-greased baking dish.

  4. Bake the apple strudel in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. During baking, brush the top several times with melted butter to create a golden brown crust.

  5. Let the baked strudel rest and cool slightly. Cut it into diagonal slices. Transfer it to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.

Advice

Use sour apples for desserts. Instead of raisins and almonds, you can add chopped walnuts to the apples. Before letting the dough rest, brush the dough ball with oil. This way, the dough wont tear while rolling and stretching. If you dont have time, buy pre-made stretched dough.
