Apple Strudel

Yield: 3 rolls Prep time: 30 min

Oil for the baking tray

4 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped

2 ½ T sugar

1 T lemon juice

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp grated lemon rind

¼ c fine bread crumbs

¼ cup finely minced walnuts

2 T (packed) raisins (opt)

½ cup (packed ) grated mild cheddar cheese (opt)

18 sheets of filo pastry

About 3 T vegetable oil

1. Preheat oven to 375. Generously oil a baking tray.

2. Combine all ingredients except filo and oil in a medium-large bowl. Toss gently.

3. To assemble: Place 1 sheet of filo on a dry surface and brush lightly with oil. Place another sheet on top, and brush with oil. Continue until you have a pile of 6. Distribute ½ of the filling on one edge, fold over the sides, and roll up.

4. Brush the top of the roll with a little more oil, then transfer to the prepared tray. Repeat for second roll.

5. Bake about 35 minutes, or until lightly browned and exquisitely crisp. Serve warm with homemade whipped cream.

Note: These freeze well if thoroughly wrapped. Defrost and reheat in 350 oven for 20 minutes.

Whipped Cream

½ cup heavy cream

small pinch of salt

1 T sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla

Directions for whipped cream: When whipping cream, the cream should be as cold as possible, and the bowl should also be very cold, so the cream will whip to a higher volume (a very slight pinch of salt added at the beginning also helps the cream to whip). When the cream is about ½ whipped, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whip (if you add them at the beginning, the cream will not whip to high volume).

Enjoy your summer!
