Hrvatski štrudel od jabuka, or Croatian Apple Strudel, is a delicious pastry filled with spiced apples, raisins, and nuts. This traditional Croatian dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests with its flaky layers and sweet filling.
Ingredients
- 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 6 sheets phyllo dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining sheets, stacking them on top of each other.
- Spoon the apple mixture along one long edge of the phyllo stack, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the short edges over the filling, then roll the strudel tightly.
- Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet and brush the top with more melted butter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the strudel is golden brown and crispy.
- Let the strudel cool for a few minutes, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
