Ingredients
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 2 sheets of phyllo dough, thawed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, mix apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
- Unroll the phyllo dough sheets onto a clean surface. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
- Brush one sheet of phyllo dough lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Place the second sheet on top, brushing it with butter as well.
- Evenly distribute the apple cranberry mixture along the center of the buttered phyllo layers.
- Fold the long edges of the phyllo dough over the filling and tightly roll it up into a log shape, encasing the apples and cranberries.
- Transfer the strudel onto a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top.
- Bake for 25 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
