Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare apples and strawberries and toss with lemon juice. Add to apples the sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Set aside.

Place one sheet down and brush with butter. Sprinkle on a scant teaspoon of the breadcrumbs. Layer on five more filo leaves, brushing each with butter. Place half of the apple strawberry mixture across the lower third of the filo sheets. Cover by rolling the bottom edge of the dough over the apples - just to cover. Turn the right and left edges in about one inch. Roll up jellyroll fashion to make the strudel roll. Brush top with melted butter. Repeat with remaining filo leaves and filling.

Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool, dust with icing sugar if desired. Cut using a serrated knife, in diagonal slices.
