Ingredients

• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 120 ml Lukewarm water
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 500 g Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 80 g Raisins
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Walnuts, finely chopped
• 30 g Butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg, lukewarm water, and melted butter. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form into a ball, cover with cling film, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the sliced apples, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a large, floured kitchen towel or parchment paper, stretching it carefully until it is very thin and transparent.

Step 6

Brush the dough with half of the melted butter (30g).

Step 7

Spread the apple mixture evenly over two-thirds of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Using the towel or parchment paper to help, gently roll the dough from the side where the filling is, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a log shape.

Step 9

Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Brush the top with the remaining melted butter.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
