Apple Struddle for January snowy days. It's been so beautiful lately with the snow. I followed this recipe pretty much.
INGREDIENTS:
-6 golden apples.
-4 tablespoons of raisins.
-1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
-4 flat (not heaped)tablespoons of brown sugar.
-2 teaspoons of cornstarch.
-1/2 cup of bread crumbs.
-1/2 cup of crushed peacans or wanuts.
-1 whole lemon (the zest).
-5 sheets of filo pastry.
-130 grams of butter.
-1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
-1/2 teaspoon of mixed spices.
-1 pinch of salt.
STEPS:1. Melt the butter in saucepan and set it apart.
2. Put two of those tablespoons of melted butter back in the a pan and add the breadcrumbs. Toast them till they brown a bit. Now reserve.
3. Now slice the apples in medium thickness and cut in half, creating little pieces.
4. In the same pot that you have used, now add the apples, the caster sugar, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, the salt, the mixed spices, the cornstarch, the raisins, the crushed peacans or walnuts and the zest of a whole lemon. Give it all a good stir and place in stove.
5. Cook it all together constantly stirring for 10 minutes in high heat, not low heat, or it will release too much juice. It will reduce but not that much. Also the cornstarch will absorb the liquid. Do not let it get burned.
6. Now prepare the filo pastry. Place each sheet of filo pastry and spread the melted butter with the basting brush. Continue placing each on top of the other until you do the 5 of them.7. Now place the breadcrumbs on the last sheet and place the apple filling.
8. Now wrap it up as if you were wrapping a giant burrito.
9. Baste with melted butter and put in oven in 160 degrees low heat only, not grill for about 40 minutes.
10. Keep a close eye to it and then turn the grill when you think it needs a little more toasting.
11. That's it. Sprinkle caster sugar on top.
Update of this recipe. You can also make this recipe with puff pastry. In fact, I would venture to say that it was better with puff pastry.
