How to Make Easy As Autumn Apple Strudel

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 15x10 inch baking sheet with butter or cooking spray.
Prepare the apple filling (see below). Set aside.
Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo dough (approximately 14-16 sheets) with melted butter. Lay each sheet on top of the last on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even layering.
Gently form a neat stack of the phyllo sheets.
Spoon the prepared apple filling evenly along one long side of the phyllo stack, leaving about a 2-inch border.
Brush the edges of the phyllo with remaining melted butter.
Carefully roll the phyllo tightly from the filled side, ensuring the seam is on the underside.
Brush the entire strudel with the remaining melted butter.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
Let cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
