Ingredients

• 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
• 4 medium Apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Add brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and vanilla extract to the apple mixture. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add breadcrumbs to the melted butter and toast them until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 5

On a clean, dry surface, lay out one phyllo sheet. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray, then place another sheet on top. Repeat with all sheets until you have a stack of four phyllo sheets.

Step 6

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top phyllo sheet, then spread the apple mixture evenly over the breadcrumbs, leaving about a 2-inch border on all sides.

Step 7

Carefully fold in the short edges of the phyllo dough, then roll the strudel from the longer side into a tight log.

Step 8

Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with non-stick cooking spray to help it brown.

Step 9

Bake the strudel for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
