apfelstrudel

this afternoon i made also some apple strudel. when i was a kid i despised this dessert, then lately i found myself just loving it.. apart from the fact that i still hate raisins, so i'm used to make some little "corrections" to the original recipe ^^

Apfelstrudel (serves 4-5)

lukewarm water
2 big apples
50g melted butter
200g wheat flour
2tbsp oil
1pinch of salt
3tbsp confectioner sugar
1/2tbsp cardamom
1/2tbsp cinnamon
2tbsp hazelnut flour
mix of roughly ground pine seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts

mix the flour with salt, oil and cardamom, then start pouring as much water as needed kneading energetically to make a compact and elastic dough. make a ball, oil it slightly and let it rest in a fresh place for about half an hour.
in the meanwhile, chop the apple into small pieces (i even use a mixer) and mix it well to the ground nuts, cinnamon and 2tbsp confectioner sugar. set aside. mix the melted butter with the remaining sugar and the hazelnut flour.
flatten the dough with a rolling pin in a thin rectangle and spread it with a half of the melted butter. distribute the apple and nuts filling onto the dough and make a roll. spread the remaining butter on the surface of the strudel.
bake in preheated oven at 200°C for 35-45min.
