# Zutaten:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
02 - Zest of 1 lemon
03 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
04 - 1/2 cup sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Dough

06 - 1 package phyllo dough (16 ounces), thawed
07 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Fillings

08 - 1 cup breadcrumbs
09 - 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
10 - Powdered sugar for dusting

# Anleitung:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
03 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
04 - Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering 4-5 sheets.
05 - Sprinkle half of the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the phyllo dough, leaving a border around the edges. Layer half of the apple mixture on top of the breadcrumbs, followed by half of the raisins if using.
06 - Carefully roll the dough, starting from one edge, to form a log. Seal the edges by brushing with butter.
07 - Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with remaining melted butter. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo dough and filling.
08 - Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing.

# Hinweise:

01 - Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
02 - For a nutty flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts to the filling.
