Apple Strudel
(from the Sugar Lodge at Sugarbush)

Ingredients
6 cups tart apples, sliced
1 Tablespoon lemon rind, grated
2 teaspoons cinnamon
8 ounces phyllo leaves (1/2 box, thawed)
1 cup bread crumbs, finely crushed
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup almonds, ground
1-3/4 cups butter (no margarine), melted
Mix apples with raisins, lemon rind, sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. Set
aside. Place 1 phyllo leaf on a kitchen towel and brush with melted butter.
Place a second leaf on top and brush with butter again. Repeat until 5
leaves have been used, using about 1/2 cup of butter.

Cook and stir bread crumbs with 1/4 cup of butter until lightly browned.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup crumbs on the layered phyllo leaves. Mound 1/2 of the
filling in a 3-inch strip along the narrow end of phyllo, leaving a 2-inch
border. Lift towel, using it to roll leaves over apples, jelly roll
fashion. Brush top of the strudel with butter and sprinkle with 2
Tablespoons crumbs. Repeat the entire procedure for second strudel. Bake
the strudels at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until browned.

Note: Frozen phyllo leaves for strudel can be found at most supermarkets in
the frozen foods section.

Makes: 2 strudels, 6 to 8 servings each.
