Apple Strudel

APPLE STRUDEL
1/2 c. organic cane sugar

1/2 c. raisins

2 tbsp. lemon juice

2 Tbsp. Il DiVino's dolce vita cinnamon honey

1 1/2 c. toasted nuts ( walnuts or pecans)

8 Granny Smith apples

1 tbsp flour

10 sheets filo pastry, frozen type

1 stick of salted butter melted

Peel, core and slice apples into chunks. Add lemon juice, nuts ,raisins and DiVino's dolcevita cinnamon honey then sprinkle flour over the mixture and thoroughly mix together. Bake apple mixture on a greased cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 350 or until apples begin to soften. Set aside to cool and begin to prepare filo dough.

Take 8 to 10 filo sheets. Place on damp cloth. Brush each layer with butter and chose a few layers to brush with the dolcevita cinnamon honey. Be careful for they are thin and delicate. After you have placed the last layer of filo dough, put the cooled filling on the filo sheets.

Spread evenly. Roll up with the towel carefully. (Do not roll the towel in the filo sheets. The towel is merely used to assist in rolling.)

Bake at 375°F. for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Put slits on top with a knife about every inch. Put in oven for 30 minutes. Every 10 minutes dot with butter. Garnish with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream for a delightfully delicious dessert.
