How to Make Apple Strudel Two Ways
- **Method 1: Using Canned Apple Filling (Faster)**
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the phyllo dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with melted butter.
- Spread the canned apple filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Carefully roll up the strudel, tucking in the ends to prevent filling from escaping.
- Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
- **Method 2: Using Homemade Spiced Apples (More Involved, but worth it!)**
- Prepare the apples one day in advance: Peel, core, and slice 6-8 medium apples (about 4 cups).
- In a large pan, combine apples with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and release their juices. Let cool completely and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the phyllo dough on a lightly floured surface. Brush with melted butter.
- Spread the cooled spiced apples evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Carefully roll up the strudel, tucking in the ends to prevent filling from escaping.
- Place the strudel on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with remaining melted butter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
