Vegan Apple Strudel

Spread the Christmas cheer with this irresistible buttery, flakey, lightly-spiced, apple strudel. Recipe by @laura_hobby_baker.

NOTE- For the apple detail on top, thinly slice apples and bake in the oven on low at 100C fan forced for 1 hour. Then dust with icing sugar

Preheat oven to 160C (fan forced)
Firstly prepare the apples then place them in a colander and squeeze lemon juice over them, this is to aid with the oxidisation process (to stop browning)
In a small bowl place breadcrumbs, sugar, vanilla sugar & cinnamon, mix & set aside
Starting with the filo pastry sheets, butter each sheet lightly one at a time, gently stacking them on top of one another, until you've built the 10 layers
Next scatter over the breadcrumb mixture then arrange the apples evenly over the top, then the raisins or sultanas, then bring in sides of the pastry slightly
Now gently but tightly roll into a log, brushing Nuttelex over all over the outside
Place on a tray lined with baking paper & bake for 30-40 until golden brown, when its ready allow to cool completely on a wire rack, dust with icing sugar just before serving
