Apfelstrudel

Step 1

Prepare the dough yourself, but the store-bought dough will do just fine. Soak the raisin in rum and proceed to make the nutty breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Heat the butter in a pan until bubbly, add the breadcrumbs and slowly fry on moderate heat until golden brown. Right before the end, mix in the grated nuts and quickly cook through, then remove from the heat.

Step 3

Peeled and sliced apples sprinkle with lemon juice, add sugar, powdered cloves, and a generous pinch of cinnamon. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) and butter the baking tin.

Step 4

Scatter first the breadcrumbs, then apples, and lastly, raisins on half of the dough, and generously coat the remaining half with melted butter. Fold the edges in at the sides, then roll up while making sure that you seal the ends very well and transfer to the buttered baking tin.

Step 5

Coat with melted butter and bake for 40-50 minutes. When done, leave to cool and sprinkle with icing sugar.
