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
