Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, toss 4 peeled and thinly sliced apples with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup raisins, and 2 tbsp lemon juice until coated.
  2. Step 2: Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with 1 tbsp melted butter. Repeat layering 4 sheets total, brushing each with butter.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the layered phyllo to absorb moisture. Spread the apple mixture along one long edge, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Step 4: Gently roll the phyllo over the filling, tucking in the sides to seal and form a log shape. Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Brush the strudel with remaining 2 tbsp melted butter and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and crisp.
  6. Step 6: Warm 3 tbsp honey in a small pan until runny, then brush over the hot strudel.
  7. Step 7: Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and slice to serve warm.
