Bag O' Apples

Our local fruit and veg shop has this section called "reduced produce", which I frequent, of course.  Here you can get a bag of delicious assorted pommes for cheap

Was that $2.99 for like 10 apples?  Cheap as!

What you do with said apples is your business, but may I suggest a delectable apple "strudel", which I put in quotes not to offend my German friends.  This "strudel" is as easy as 1,2,3...all you need besides your cheap as bag of apples is a box of filo pastry...like this!

Also a lemon you may or may not have 'stolen' from a neighbouring tree, some brown sugar, cinnamon and sultanas (if you like), oh and some butter (of course)

Preheat oven to 175 C

1.  Peel, core and chop 3 apples.  Sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice to avoid browning.  Throw in 2 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon and a handful of sultanas.  Now, I don't like my desserts too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar...just taste and adjust to how you like it!  That's the beauty of doing it yourself...you get what YOU like!

2.  Unwrap your filo and remove about 6 paper thin sheets.  Lay these down on a cookie sheet.  Melt some butter in the microwave and drizzle over the filo.  Place the mixture on the filo like so.

Fold over the edges and roll up into a filo package filled with apply goodness. Make 4 or so slits on the top with a sharp knife - these help the steam escape and also help you to cut it without making a messy mess.

3.  Put in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until you can smell the apples cooking and the top is browned.  Ready for some food porn...oh yeah, I know you want it...

See, three steps (or so)...Remove from the oven and let cool for a bit...then tuck in!  Yum!  Great for breakfast too, if I do say so myself.

Always enjoy,
Kat
