Ingredients
- 2 cups all
- purpose flour
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Pinch of salt
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup cold water
- 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water to form a dough, then wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In another bowl, combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and walnuts. Mix well.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the dough.
- Spread apple mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Moisten the borders with water.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges to seal. Slice the strudel into two portions.
- Transfer each portion to a parchment lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 35 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
