Ingredients

  • DOUGH:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • -
  • FILLING:
  • 10 tablespoons margarine melted
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned white bread crumbs per strudel
  • 3 apples per strudel, peeled, cored, very thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup corn flakes per strudel
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins per strudel
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped per strudel
  • 1/2 cup sugar per strudel

Directions

  1. DOUGH: Mix flour, water, oil, egg and salt together and knead into a smooth elastic ball.

  2. Place dough back into a buttered bowl. Cover tightly and place close to a warm area. Inside your oven with the light turned on will be about right…do NOT turn the oven on.

  3. Let rest for about 2 hours or even over night.

  4. Cut dough into 3 sections. Place dough on a large white sheet or old table cloth on kitchen table.

  5. Sprinkle sheet lightly with flour. Stretch dough until tissue thin. If you can’t quite manage this go ahead and use a rolling pin. Start from the middle and work out until dough is about 2 feet in diameter.

  6. FILLING: Brush stretched dough with melted margarine. Place a layer of very thinly sliced apples on buttered dough then sprinkle on bread crumbs, corn flakes, raisins, pecans and sugar. (amounts above are approximate)

  7. Drizzle with more melted margarine.

  8. Using the sheet, begin to roll your strudel “jelly roll fashion”.

  9. Using the sheet, transfer strudel to a greased jelly roll sheet. Sprinkle with extra sugar.

  10. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until nice and golden brown.
