Apple Strudel With Rum Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place apples in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar and golden raisins; set aside. Place puff pastry on baking sheet. Roll lightly with a rolling pin. Arrange apple filling down the middle of the pastry lengthwise. Fold the pastry lengthwise around the mixture. Seal edges of pastry by using a bit of water on your fingers, and rubbing the pastry edges together. Whisk egg and milk together, and brush onto top of pastry.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pour rum over raisins and microwave on high for 25 seconds to plump raisins (let sit 10 minutes).
• In a large bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and plumped raisins.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and egg whites, being sure to mix them well.
• Place 1 sheet of phyllo on work surface and lightly brush with the oil-egg white mixture. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon each of sugar, panko, and almonds, then top with another layer of phyllo and repeat the process four times. Place the last sheet of phyllo on top of the sugar mixture and brush it with the with oil-egg white mixture, but do not top with more sugar, panko, and almonds.
• Place the apple mixture on the lower 1/3 of the phyllo stack, being sure to leave a 2-inch border. Gently lift the bottom edge of the phyllo stack to cover the filling, then fold the side edges over. Continue to roll the stack away from you, until the filling is completely sealed in and the seam is on the bottom.
• Transfer to the lined baking sheet, brush the top with the oil-egg white mixture and sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon of sugar. Place in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool before serving.

Steps:

• Soak raisins in rum in a small bowl for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a large baking sheet with short sides (such as a jelly roll pan).
• Have your phyllo laid out and covered with a slightly damp towel so it does not dry out.
• Mix sliced apples, raisin mixture, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon.
• Clear a nice big flat work surface and line with a long sheet of waxed paper to work on (tape it to the counter) (work so the long sides are facing you).
• Lay a sheet of phyllo onto the wax paper and brush with some of the melted butter.
• Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the bread crumbs evenly over the butter.
• Place another shet of phyllo on top and repeat 3 times, so that you have 1 more sheet of phyllo left.
• Place the remaining phyllo on top,and this time take your apple mixture and place it in a mound on one of the longer sides of the dough, leaving a border along the edge.
• Untape your wax paper and then use it to carefully roll up the other side of the dough over the filling, folding in the ends and carefully place onto the baking sheet, seams down (remove the wax paper once you have your strudel safely in position on your pan).
• Combine egg and water and brush over the strudel, then sprinkle with nuts.
• Bkae in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving, then dust to taste with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon zest and nutmeg. Add the apples, pears and extracts; toss to coat., Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; lightly brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Layer with seven more sheets of phyllo, brushing each layer with some of the butter., Spoon apple mixture lengthwise over phyllo within 2 in. of a long side; fold in edges. Roll up, starting from the long side., Place seam side down in a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits in top of strudel. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Sift all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Mix in egg, water, white sugar, lard and salt. Knead until soft and smooth. Lightly brush with approximately 1 tablespoon butter. Cover with a towel and set aside 1 hour.
• Mix bread crumbs and 3/4 cup butter in a medium bowl. Mix in ground walnuts, apples, raisins, cinnamon and sugar.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a medium baking dish.
• Spread a clean tablecloth or cotton sheet on a large work surface and dust with flour. Gently stretch the dough into a large, very thin rectangle as thin as tissue paper. Cut away thick edges. Sprinkle with approximately 1/2 cup melted butter. Spread bread crumb mixture across the dough, leaving a two inch border on all sides. Fold one end of the dough over the filling, then roll dough to form strudel. Cut so that it will fit the baking dish.
• Place strudel in baking dish and brush with remaining butter. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and apples are tender, about 1 hour.
