List of Ingredients




5 sheets phyllo dough ( 19 x 29 inches )
1 1/2 sticks butter, melted
1 pound of pound cake crumbs
6 ounces cinnamon sugar

Apple Filling:
15 ounces sliced Granny Smith Apples
5 ounces crushed pineapple
5 ounces pineapple syrup
6 ounces cinnamon sugar
5 ounces apple juice
2 ounces cornstarch
4 ounces raisins
Chopped pecans or walnuts ( optional )

Recipe



Procedure for Making Filling:
In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the apples, crushed
pineapple, syrup, and cinnamon sugar for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix
the apple juice and cornstarch together, blending well. At the end
of the 15 minutes, add the cornstarch and apple juice mixture to the
apples along with the raisins ( and nuts, if desired ). Cook for 5
minutes. Remove from heat.

Procedure for Assembling Strudel:
Lay out a large piece of baker's parchment on a clean work
table. Lay the first sheet of phyllo dough on top of the parchment
paper, being careful to keep a moist towel over the other pieces of
phyllo to prevent their drying out.

With a large pastry brush, sprinkle generously with melted
butter. Do not brush as you may tear the phyllo. Sprinkle a fourth
of the available crumbs over that sheet.

Lay the second and third sheets of phyllo on top of this.
Sprinkle with melted butter, a fourth of the crumbs, and a fourth of
the cinnamon sugar. Lay the fourth and fifth layers of phyllo on the
top of this. Sprinkle with melted butter and a fourth of cinnamon
sugar.

With the remaining crumbs, make a bed about 3 inches wide across
the sheet about a quarter of the way up from the bottom. Arrange the
apple mixture on this bed all the way across the sheet. Using
parchment paper to lift and pull with, roll the sheets into a tight
strudel.

**Note:
after rolling, make sure to crimp the ends so that filling does
not come out the ends.

Brush the strudel with the remaining butter and sprinkle with
the last of the cinnamon sugar. Bake or freeze immediately. Bake in
a 325 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, let cool, chow down ... and ... YOU'LL BE
BACK ... for a second helping of Arnold's Strudel
