German Apple Strudel

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and raisins.

Step 3

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean kitchen towel and brush lightly with melted butter.

Step 4

Layer the remaining phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with melted butter as you go.

Step 5

Spoon the apple filling along one long edge of the phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border.

Step 6

Using the towel to help, roll the phyllo up tightly around the filling, tucking in the ends as you go.

Step 7

Transfer the strudel seam-side down to the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with any remaining melted butter.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

Step 9

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
