Ingredients:
- 2 cups of peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 package of phyllo dough (thawed)
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins (if using). Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
- On a clean countertop, lay out a sheet of phyllo dough. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush that one too. Repeat this process until you have about 5 layers stacked.
- On one end of the layered dough, spoon a line of the apple mixture, leaving about 1 inch from the edge. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and roll it up gently but firmly from the end with the filling.
- Transfer the rolled strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down. Brush the top with more melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once out of the oven, allow your strudel to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Your Cheaters Apple Strudel is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. Enjoy this scrumptious dessert with friends and family; it’s sure to become a favorite in no time!
