When life gives you about 5 green apples that you will never possibly eat before they go bad...

You turn them into apple strudel, obviously! Apple strudel is not even all that bad for you- it has fruit, walnuts if you care to add them, and not a terrible amount of sugar. This recipe does make a lot of strudel- you can cut in in half if you have less apples and just put it in an 8 or 9  inch square pan instead of a 9 by 13 like I used. Also, make sure you properly defrost the phyllo dough- I did not wait long enough so the sheets split because they were frozen. Therefore, I had to awkwardly use strips of phyllo sheets whereas it would have been much easier to use the whole sheet after it thawed properly.

What's Inside:
-1/2 cup sugar
-1 cup raisins
-1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
-About 5 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
-2 tsp cinnamon
-6 sheets phyllo dough,THAWED
-4 tsp melted butter
-Powdered sugar to sprinkle over top after baked

How to make it:
1) Mix all filling ingredients together (apples, raisins, walnuts, cinnamon) and bake in a pan in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 15 minutes
2)  In the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch pan, lay one sheet of phyllo dough. Brush with butter and top with 2nd sheet. Repeat with one more sheet
3) Pour apple mixture on top of three sheets and layer with another layer of phyllo dough. Brush with butter and repeat with two more sheets of phyllo
4) Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Top with powdered sugar and serve warm.
