Apple Strudel

4 servings

Ingredients

• strudel dough (as needed)
• butter (melted, cooled) (a little)
• apples (very finely sliced) (as needed)
• raisins (a little)
• currants (a little)
• almonds (finely slivered) (a little)
• lemon zest (grated) (a little)
• cinnamon (crushed) (a little)
• sugar (to taste)

Instructions

1. Brush the strudel dough with melted, cooled butter and sprinkle only half of it with filling: On one long side, add very finely sliced apples, a little raisins and currants, finely slivered almonds, grated lemon zest, crushed cinnamon, and sugar.
2. Roll up so that the sprinkled side comes to the middle, and bake like the cherry strudel.
