Ingredients

  • Phyllo dough - 4 sheets
  • Fresh peaches - 2 medium, pitted and sliced
  • Granulated sugar - 3 tablespoons
  • Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
  • Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Unsalted butter - 3 tablespoons, melted
  • Bread crumbs - 2 tablespoons
  • Powdered sugar - for dusting (optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are well-coated and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it again with butter. Repeat this process with two more sheets, creating a layered effect.
  4. Sprinkle the bread crumbs evenly over the phyllo dough, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides.
  5. Spoon the peach mixture along one long edge of the phyllo dough, again leaving a 2-inch border.
  6. Carefully fold in the sides of the phyllo, then roll the dough tightly away from you into a log shape, sealing the ends with a bit of melted butter.
  7. Transfer the strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the top with the remaining melted butter.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve warm.
