Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Mix all the filling ingredients together.
- Cut a sheet of nonstick baking paper about 30x40cm and place on the work surface. Take 2-3 sheets of filo, brushing each with melted butter and overlapping slightly to cover the paper. Layer the pastry sheets, brushing in between with butter until the pastry is used up.
- Sprinkle the dry breadcrumbs over the top two-thirds of the filo pastry, leaving a 4cm border. Dollop apple filling over the pastry and smooth down lightly.
- Flip the 4cm of bare edge over the filling. Starting at the top, roll the pastry round, using the paper to lift it. Fold over the ends to seal.
- Place on a greased baking tray. Brush with leftover butter.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, until lightly browned. Poke a skewer into centre of strudel to see if the apple is tender. Loosen with a knife, then slide onto a serving dish, dusting with icing sugar.
