Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash, peel, core, and slice your apples into thin pieces. Toss them in a mixing bowl with lemon juice, brown sugar, and spices.
  3. Layer 4-5 sheets of filo pastry, brushing each layer with melted butter, and sprinkle breadcrumbs and chopped nuts in between layers.
  4. Spoon your apple mixture onto one edge of the layered filo.
  5. Wrap the filling in the filo by folding over and tucking the edges to seal.
  6. Place the strudel seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, brush the top with melted butter and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes and dust with powdered sugar right before slicing.
