- Cuisine: Italian
- Serves 12, makes 3 small strudels
Ingredients
¾ cup milk40g butter
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups self raising flour
2 medium eggs, beaten
For the filling
10 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
½ cup apricot jam
6 tbsp white sugar
100g butter
½ cup currants
½ cup sultanas
Ground cinnamon
Ground cloves
Preparation
Place the milk, butter and sugar in a pan and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove the pan from the heat. Place the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre, and add the eggs and milk, leaving a couple of tablespoons of milk as a basting liquid. Stir roughly until the flour mixture forms into a ball. On a floured bench, knead the dough gently; the consistency should be a little softer than pasta dough.Cover with cling film and refrigerate.
Divide the pastry into thirds. Flour the bench and the rolling pin lightly and roll out the first potion of the pastry into an oval shape approximately 28cm x 26cm and ½ cm thick. Spread the pastry thinly with jam to the edges. Spread a third of the apples over the pastry leaving a 2cm edge free. Sprinkle the apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar, then dot with 1/3 of the butter, 1/3 of the currants and 1/3 of the sultanas. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cloves to your taste.
Fold in the edges of the pastry over the apples, and gently roll the strudel from the right edge to the centre and over again. Pick up the strudel with two wide spatulas or egg flips and lay it on a baking tray.
Repeat the procedure for the next 2 strudels. Base the strudels with the leftover milk mixture and bake them in a moderate oven for 1½ hours. Baste intermittently with the buttery syrup that oozes onto the baking tray, doing this you will have lovely, shiny, golden strudel.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or rich cream.

Tasty recipe
This is a really great rustic apple strudel. Like the other cooks, I found 1 hour was plenty in the oven and I had heaps of apples left over - more than half. Maybe my apples were just really big. I also used some lovely home made raspberry jam instead of apricot - it's all I had in the fridge and it was still great.
But I am not sure the quantities are right in this recipe, I could have used more dough and fewer apples.
Overall, a great recipe, I will cook again

Wow! What a wonderful recipe! Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful dessert recipe. My son cooked this for dessert on Sunday and it was fabulous; light, tasty, a perfect balance of sweet and acidic. We had a simple lunch of Garithes Yiouvetsi, rice and salad and of course wine, followed by this memorable dessert. What more could you ask for! We love your programme. It makes you want to be Italian.
