Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 120 grams Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, sour cream, flour, and raisins (if using). Mix well to coat the apples evenly and to form a thick filling.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top and brush with more butter. Repeat this process until you have layered 6 sheets total.

Step 4

Spoon half of the apple filling along one long edge of the phyllo layers, leaving a 2-inch border on the sides.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling, then carefully roll it up tightly like a jelly roll. Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Repeat the layering and filling process with the remaining phyllo sheets and apple filling to create a second strudel.

Step 7

Brush the tops of both strudels with the remaining melted butter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the strudels are golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Allow the strudels to cool for 10-15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
