Equipment

  • 1 oven dish (30 x 20 cm)

Ingredients

  • 9 sheets phyllo dough (filo) (vegan)
  • 3-4 apples
  • 1 cup pecan halves (chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • olive oil spray

For the syrup

  • 150 grams sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

Apple and Pecan Strudel

  • Wash, quarter the apples and remove the core from the middle. Thinly slice the apples and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 190℃ (375°F).
  • Crinkle the phyllo dough like an accordion and place the crinkled phyllo dough in the oven dish.
  • Place slices of apple with the cut side facing down in the fold of the dough. Sprinkle chopped pecan in a next or second fold of the dough. Repeat until the oven dish is full.
  • Sprinkle with rest pecan and ground cinnamon top of the strudel (filled phyllo dough crinkle).
  • Lightly sprinkle with olive oil.
  •  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Syrup

  • In a medium sauce pan, add the sugar, water and honey. Stir well and bring to a boil. After it starts boiling reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the strudel from the oven, pour the syrup immediately over it.
  • Let the strudel sit for cool it, so that the syrup sets in and it gets all nice and sticky. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can also use walnuts instead of pecans.
