Apple Strudel

6 cups Tart Apples - Sliced

1 tbsp Lemon Rind - Grated

2 tsp Cinnamon

8 oz Fillo Leaves (½ Box - Thawed)

1 cup Bread Crumbs - Finely Crushed

¾ cup Raisins

¾ cup Sugar

¾ cup Ground Almonds

1¾ cups Butter - Melted (No Margarine)

Mix apples with raisins, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. Set aside. Place 1 fillo leaf on a kitchen towel and brush with melted butter. Place a second leaf on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until 5 leaves have been used, using about ½ cup of butter. Cook and stir bread crumbs with ¼ cup of butter until lightly browned. Sprinkle ¾ cup crumbs on the layered fillo leaves. Mound ½ of the filling in a 3-inch strip along the narrow end of the fillo, leaving a 2-inch border. Lift towel, using it to roll leaves over apples, jelly roll fashion. Brush top of the strudel with butter and sprinkle with 2 tbsp crumbs. Repeat the entire procedure for the second strudle. Bake the strudels at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned. Makes 2 strudels, 6 to 8 servings each. NOTE: Frozen fillo leaves for strudel can be found at most supermarkets in the frozen foods sections.

Makes approximately 6 servings.
