Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl, toss apples with granulated sugar, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and 1/4 cup bread crumbs.
3. Cut two 24 inch lengths of waxed paper; overlap two lengthwise sides about 2 inches; fasten with tape. On the waxed paper, overlap a few sheets of phyllo to make a 12 by 16 inch rectangle, brushing sheets where they overlap with some melted butter. Brush the entire rectangle with melted butter and sprinkle with a scant tablespoon of bread crumbs. Repeat, brushing each layer with butter and sprinkling every other layer with crumbs.
4. Starting along one long side of phyllo, spoon apple mixture to cover about 1/2 of the rectangle. From the apple mixture side, roll up jelly roll fashion. Place on the cookie sheet seam side down. brush with melted butter.
5. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Cool on the cookie sheet for 30 minutes.
6. To serve sprinkle strudel with confectioners' sugar; slice. Serve warm or cold.
