How To Make apple raisin phyllo strudel

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper or spray it lightly with non-stick cooking spray. In a small bowl, soak raisins in the brandy, set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of margarine and add the apples, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir to combine and saute until apples are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the soaked raisins to the skillet and heat through.
  • Step 3
    Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of margarine.
  • Step 4
    Note that this recipe makes 2 strudel rolls. Using 4 sheets of phyllo for each strudel, lightly brush each layer of phyllo with the melted margarine, stacking one layer on top of the next. Place half of the apple filling mixture on top of four prepared phyllo sheets and roll up, placing strudel seam side down. Repeat procedure with remaining 4 phyllo sheets, margarine and apple filling. Brush the top of each strudel roll with margarine. Score the top of each strudel into 6 equal sections. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
