How to make apple strudel

Directions

1. Sift flour and add salt. We mix.
2. We pour in water. Add vegetable oil.
3. Knead the hard dough.
4. Cover the dough with cling film (or a towel) and let it rest.
5. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Peel the apples and remove the cores.
6. Fill the raisins with water.

   

7. Cut the apples into thin slices.

   

8. Add washed raisins.
9. Pour in sugar.
10. Squeeze out the lemon juice.
11. Add cinnamon if desired.
12. Mix everything carefully, but thoroughly, lightly crushing the apples with your hands (without breaking the slices). Let stand to make the apples elastic.
13. Put the nuts on a baking sheet and dry in the oven.
14. Mix the apple filling with nuts.

    Sprinkle flour on the cutting board, roll out the dough a little.
16. Cover the table with a cloth (tablecloth), sprinkle it with flour.
17. We start pulling out the thick edges. Using the weight of the dough piece, stretch it in a circular motion to the desired thickness.
18. Put the stretched dough on a tablecloth.
19. Sprinkle the dough with sand-biscuit crumbs – a strip, stepping back from the edge of the dough about 10 cm.
20. We squeeze out the apple filling and put it on a strip of crumbs in a slide.

    

21. Cover the filling with the edge of the dough.
22. Using the edge of the tablecloth, start wrapping the filling in the layers of dough.
