Apple Strudel

I had a few extra sheets of phyllo pastry left from the samosas, so I thought it would be fun to do apple strudel. This was something else that I had never made before, but figured it couldn't be that hard, so I closed up the recipe box and decided to have some fun! Probably the single best apple dessert yet, and so easy! Enjoy!





Ingredients:
4 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed
4 tart apples, cored, peeled & diced
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg
1 tsp milk
1 tbsp sugar

Directions:

1. Combine apples, cinnamon, flour & brown sugar.
2. Fold each sheet of phyllo pastry in half. Brush with melted butter and spread 1/4 of mixture on each one at the ends, leaving 1" at each side. Roll up and tuck ends in using a bit of butter. Slit holes into top.
3. Beat and egg milk together and brush onto each strudel. Sprinkle sugar onto top.
4. Bake at 350F for 16-18 mins, until lightly browned and bubbly.

Notes: Make sure phyllo pastry is wet with egg before putting in oven to avoid burning.
