You can make these several hours ahead; tent loosely with foil and leave at room temperature. Put in a 400° oven for a few minutes to warm and crisp just before serving. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shelled dry-roasted pistachios |
4 cups diced peeled apple (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
1/4 cup turbinado sugar |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom |
32 (14 x 9-inch) sheets frozen whole-wheat phyllo dough, thawed |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. 2. Place pistachios in a food processor; process until finely ground. 3. Combine apple, turbinado sugar, cornstarch, and cardamom in a large bowl; toss well. 4. Stack 2 phyllo sheets on a large cutting board or work surface (cover remaining dough to keep from drying). Lightly brush phyllo stack with butter; sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon ground pistachios. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets. Spoon about 1/2 cup apple mixture along 1 short edge of phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides. Fold over the long edges of phyllo to cover about 1 1/2 inches of apple mixture on each end. Starting at short edge with 2-inch border, roll up jelly-roll fashion. (Do not roll tightly, or the strudel may split.) Place strudel, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo sheets, butter, pistachios, and apple mixture to form 8 strudels total. 5. Pierce each strudel 2 times with a fork. Brush tops with remaining butter. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Serve strudels warm or at room temperature. |
