How to Make Apple Strips

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cold butter. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the Greek yogurt until just combined. Add more Greek yogurt, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is pliable but not sticky.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough between two sheets of waxed paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Peel off the top sheet of waxed paper.
  6. Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough.
  7. Lay the other sheet of waxed paper on top, then carefully flip the dough over.
  8. Peel off the remaining waxed paper.
  9. Cut the dough into strips (approximately 1-inch wide).
  10. Transfer the strips to a baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving.
