Directions:Oven: 425º ~ Yield: 1 strudel, about 12 servings
Roll pastry in a large circle on a floured board to 1/8-inch thickness. Saute bread crumbs in 1/2 c. of the melted butter. Brush pastry with a thin layer of remaining butter. Spread bread crumbs on two-thirds of the dough closest to you. Spread apples over crumbs. Sprinkle apples with the cinnamon, sugar mixture and dot with raisins and nuts. Roll up the strudel, beginning with the edge nearest you and pulling it up over the apples. Seal ends. Place the roll on a greased cookie sheet, seam side down and form into a horseshoe shape. Brush top with melted butter. Bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool; sprinkle top with confectioner's sugar.
Puff Pastry: Cut 1 c. butter into 1 1/2 c., flour until it resembles crumbs. Stir in 1/2 c. sour cream. Turn onto a flour board and knead only until it holds together. Form into a ball. Flatten slightly. Place on waxed paper. Wrap airtight. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Work with half of the dough at a time and keep the other half in the refrigerator until ready to use. |
