Apple Strudel

This Kosher Apple Strudel is a delightful twist on a classic dessert, featuring tender, flaky dough filled with spiced apples. Perfect for a cozy snack, it combines warmth and sweetness in every bite.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 125 grams
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• water - 60 milliliters
• vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) - 2 medium (about 300 grams)
• granulated sugar - 50 grams
• ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• raisins - 30 grams
• walnuts (chopped) - 30 grams
• melted margarine - 2 tablespoons
• powdered sugar (for dusting) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water and vegetable oil, mixing until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and chopped walnuts until well combined.
5. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle, about 30x40 cm (12x16 inches).
6. Brush the rolled-out dough with melted margarine, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough, then carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a log.
8. Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking tray. Brush the top with more melted margarine.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
