Apple Strudel
3 cups all purpose unbleached organic flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted real butter
1 egg
2/3 cup warm water
3/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 cups very thinly sliced peeled apples
graham cracker or gingersnap crumbs
1 egg white, whisked
powdered sugar for sprinkling
In batter bowl whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the butter until
mixture is crumbly. Whisk the egg with the water and stir into the flour
mixutre. Turn onto lightly floured counter and knead about 5 minutes.
Cut dough in half. Cover and let rest about 1 hour. Cover counter top or
table with a clean cloth about 35-40 inches square. (or use Roulpat).
Sprinkle with flour. Roll one of the halves to about a 15 inch square.
Brush entire surface with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Let stand
2-3 minutes. In meantime, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Peel and
thinly slice the apples. Set aside. Remove all of your rings. Preheat
oven to 350 degrees.
Starting from the middle of the square, carefully work underneath the
dough using the backs of your hands to gently stretch from one corner to
the next till dough is paper thin and is about 36 inches square. Brush
entire surface with 1/4 cup melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with crumbs.
Trim edges of dough so that is is pretty squared off. Put half of the
apple slices over the crumbs, but leave 6 inches free of apples on the
edge that is closest to you. Sprinkle half of the sugar-cinnamon mixture
over the apples.
Gently fold the 6 inch section of dough over the filling. Slowly and
evenly raise the cloth behind the filling, making it roll away from you
into a tight roll. Seal ends. Place on parchment or silpat lined baking
sheet. Curve slightly to form crescent. Repeat with remaining dough and
filling. Brush top of each strudel with the beaten egg white. Bake 45-50
minutes.
Remove from pan, using super transporter. Cool. Sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Serve slightly warm, or cool. It is not good to slice it when it
is hot out of the oven.
