German Brunch Bliss: Vegan Apple Strudel with Walnut Crumble

Allergens

Contains wheat and nuts.

Ingredients

• 2 sheets of vegan phyllo dough
• 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup all
• purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Prepare the walnut crumble by combining flour, cold cubed vegan butter, brown sugar, and chopped walnuts in a separate bowl. Mix with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it forms a crumbly texture. Set aside.
4. Unfold one sheet of phyllo dough on your work surface and gently press out any creases. Brush lightly with melted vegan butter, and then sprinkle evenly with 1/3 of the walnut crumble. Place another sheet of phyllo dough on top, and repeat the process until both sheets are used up.
5. Carefully transfer the assembled dough to your prepared baking sheet, and bake for 12 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooled slightly, slice the strudel into two portions, revealing the rich layers within.
