I had a couple of apples about to go bad and decided to make something new. I hadn’t done a strudel in a long time and the recipe seemed simple enough, so here we are. I made two small dishes, so I could freeze one.
Apple Strudel
- 2 1/2 cup sifted flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1/2 c. butter, melted
- 3 tsp. boiling water
8×8 baking dish, well-greased
Stir dry ingredients; mix water with butter and add to dry ingredients. Knead well.
Divide dough into 5 parts. Roll each part very thin between wax paper.
In the baking dish, layer dough & filling, ending with dough. Bake in 400° oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Filling:
- 2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/4 c. chopped walnuts
- ¼ cup raisins (optional)
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 apples, chopped finely
Mix together and spread between layers
