An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apparently, apples contain vitamin C which helps our immune system. They prevent heart diseases, cancers and tooth decay. They reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. Apples are low in calories so we should eat them instead of candy. And most importantly, they taste great, right? This all sounds pretty amazing but the only problem for me is that I really, really don`t like them. Another problem is that we received a considerable amount of apples from our cousins and we have to use them somehow. First I made an
apple crumble pie and this weekend I made this beautiful strudel. The thing with this strudel is that apples aren`t that dominant and you can taste yoghurt real nicely so I liked it. If you don`t like apples, you can absolutely use sour cherries instead.
Ingredients
3 whole eggs
450 g yoghurt (0,1% milk fat)
16 g vanilin sugar (2 sachets)
175 g semolina
13 g baking powder
90 ml sunflower oil
280 g sugar
9 sheets of filo pastry (medium thickness; if they are thin, use 2 as 1)
6 apples
Preparation
For the filling whisk 3 eggs. Add yoghurt, vanilin sugar, sugar, semolina, baking powder and oil and mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Peel apples and cut them into small cubes (1x1cm). Preheat oven to 180 D Celsius. Grease a large baking tray. Take 1 sheet of filo and cover it with a thin layer of your filling, sprinkle with apples. Cover with another layer of filo, put filling, sprinkle with apples again. Finally, cover with the third layer of filo and repeat the filling and apples. Fold your strudel lengthwise and put into your baking tray. Make 2 more strudels. Be careful to equally divide your filling and apples so that you have enough for all 3 big strudels. Brush folded strudels with oil and bake until golden brown (that`s roughly 30 minutes). Dust with powdered sugar when warm. They taste delicious even the other day. :)
Now, I just have to come up with some other apple recipes because we`re still left with plenty. :)
