STRUDEL STYLE APPLE PIE W/NUTS & RAISINS
I recently made a Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner and this was the dessert I made to go with it. I wanted it to be a bit different from my traditional Apple Pie because that would allow me to share the recipe with you. This was a great pie and it reminded me of the days when I was in my twenties working in Kenilworth at this...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash, peel and slice apples. This is the dessert I made with $2.00 worth of reduced apples.
- 2. Add sliced apples to large bowl. I add the raisins too so they can plump a bit before going into the oven.
- 3. Add in the lemon juice and continue to mix sliced apples with lemon juice as you slice them. Lemon juice prevents the apples from turning brown.
- 4. Bring pie crust to room temperature to make it easier to unroll. Then, line pie plate with the first pie crust.
- 5. Combine sugar or Truvia, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour in a small bowl. Stir till blended together. Then sprinkle mixture over sliced apples, and add in the walnuts and carefully stir till blended together.
- 6. Pour apple mixture into prepared pie shell. Top with small pats of butter.
- 7. Add the top crust and pinch the bottom and top crust together then crimp edges. Blend the egg with water and brush over top crust, or you may use evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream, by brushing the top, then lightly sprinkle with white sugar crystals. PLACE PIE ON SHALLOW BAKING PAN OR COOKIE SHEET TO CATCH ANY POTENTIAL DRIPS. Place in preheated 375 degree oven, and bake for 20 minutes, then LOWER TEMPERATURE TO 350 degrees and continue to bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes.
- 8. Bake until crust is golden brown. May need to add foil to edge of pie during last half of baking to prevent the edges from over browning. I DID NOT NEED TO USE THIS STEP. ALLOW PIE TO COOL COMPLETELY.
- 9. Slice and serve as desired plain or with ice cream.
APPLE PIE STRUDEL
I experimented with a few recipes and came up with a fun little individual version of an apple pie. I did this because my dad brought home apples and then kept asking for a pie. Well, I don't have great luck with crust, but I have made a few things using filo dough. These make cute little desserts that are easy to pack in...

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a skillet. Stir in flour to form a paste. Combine water and cornstarch. Add white sugar and brown sugar to skillet; as well as cornstarch water. Add diced apples. Bring to a boil. Add Chopped pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Reduce temperature and let simmer until apples are just slightly tender. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- 2. Preheat oven to 400°. Remember, when using filo dough it is very delicate and you must not let the dough dry out. I usually place damp paper towels over the dough I am not working with. No matter the size of "pies" you wish to make the one key to remember is cutting the dough into long rectangles/strips (I find it's easiest to just cut dough with a pizza cutter). The narrower the strip the smaller the "pie." Prepare cookie sheets either with cooking spray or parchment paper (these can leak).
- 3. After you have cut the filo dough to your desired width; take about 3 sheets to use per "pie." Gently brush the dough with melted butter. Then place about a tablespoon (or less depending on size) about an inch away from the top corner of dough strip. (This is where it can get tricky and messy.) You are now going to fold the dough as you would a flag. Pull the top edge over to form a triangle, then fold that triangle down on top of the dough; repeat until the end of the strip of dough. Gently, place triangles on cookie sheet and lightly coat with butter. You can sprinkle a little coarse sugar (or cinnamon-sugar) on top for interest if you desire. Repeat process with remaining dough and filling.
- 4. Bake in preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until golden brown on top. Cool slightly and serve! (Make sure you don't leave "pies" on cookie sheet to cool too long of the caramel with stick to the pans and be a mess!)
