ALBERTO ROSSI’S APPLE STRUDEL

Ingredients:

150 gr Plain Flour

70 gr Water

1 egg yolk

1 TBL Spoon oil

Pinch of Salt

1 TBL spoon white wine vinegar

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients to form a dough; kneed it on a table for 2-3 minutes. Rest in the fridge 30 minutes.

 

Ingredients for the filling:

3 Bramley apples, peeled and sliced

Zest of 1 lemon

1 TBL spoon ground cinnamon

40 gr Toasted Pine Nuts

50 gr golden raisins

100 gr breadcrumbs

2 TBL spoons of sugar

40 gr butter

1 egg yolk (for brushing)

 

Instructions:

• Set the oven at 180 C.
• In a mixing bowl, mix apples, cinnamon, pine nuts, golden raisins and grated lemon zest; add the sugar and mix well. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
• For the breadcrumbs, you need to put on medium fire; add the butter and add the breadcrumbs; you need to toast the breadcrumbs until they are golden brown, it will take approximately 5 minutes.
• Once ready, remove from the pan and let them cool down.

 

To Assemble:

1) Take the dough from the fridge, put flour on a surface and with a rolling pin, pull the dough into a rectangular shape. The dough will be quite elastic, so you have to make sure it is quite thin!

2) Once that is ready, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on the dough, leaving about 1cm from each side; add the apple mix on the dough, over the breadcrumbs. Do not add all the juice from the apple mix!

3) Any left-over breadcrumbs can be added on top of the apple mix.

4) Now, you will need to roll the strudel; roll it nicely and tight. Once done, transfer it to an oven tray and brush the egg yolk on top of it. With a knife score the strudel 3 times.

5) Cook at 180 C for 30 minutes.

6) Serve with Ice cream or Whipped cream.
