Apple strudel with almond crumbs. Tasty and easy.





I recommened this recipe to those who feel their culinary art is worth that extra special something. Especially this pie is good because of almond.

Almonds not only taste good, but they're also good for your health .
Almonds are one of the most nutritious of all nuts. They are rich in the vitamins and minerals that help build a healthy heart, especially vitamin E. And these little nutrient nuggets are cholesterol free.
There are many kinds of food made from this nuts, for expl: almond butter, praline, marzipan, frangipan, amaretto products, macaroons, tarts, almond essence, marron, etc.
  • 6-8 apples, peeled, cored and cut into ¼ inch-thick slices (use apples that hold their shape during baking)
  •  250g all-purpose flour
  •  100ml warm water
  •  70 g almond crumbs
  •  80g raisin
  •  1 egg
  •  2-3 tablespoons plant (vegetable)oil
  •  30g bread or biscuit crumbs 
  •  100g unsalted butter
  •  50g sugar brown
  •  ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  •  1/2 lemon, juiced 
  •  pinch of salt
  •  1 yolk
  •  2 tablespoon milk
Preheat oven to 220 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
Make dough, sift the mentioned flour, add egg, oil, water and salt. 
Heat the butter and let it cool a little.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon in another bowl.
To roll a dough on a damp towel, brushing it with melted butter, then place the apple mixture (apples, almond crumbs, raisin, mix of sugar &cinnamon), make a roll with towel. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with yolk&milk mix.

Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
