Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Sift flour (250 g) into a deep container with a sieve. Drive 1 chicken egg into the flour, add a pinch of salt, 100 ml of warm water and 1 tsp. olive oil. Mix everything thoroughly, and then knead the dough (the dough should turn out to be quite dense and elastic).
   
2. We collect the dough in a tight lump and coat on top 1-2 tsp. olive (or sunflower) oil.
   
3. Then we wrap this lump of dough with cling film and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
   
4. Apples (about 7 pcs.) Are thoroughly washed, peeled and peeled (it is advisable to take apples of the Golden variety). Cut the peeled apples into small cubes and put them into a deep container.
   
5. In a container with apples, add: 30 g of sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 100 g of raisins (according to the classic recipe, raisins must be pre-soaked in rum, but this is not necessary), 50 g of pine nuts, 100 g of crushed crackers and grated zest of one lemon (the lemon should be thoroughly washed beforehand).
   
6. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside. After 30 minutes, we take out the dough from the refrigerator. We cover the working surface with a tablecloth or a piece of fabric made of natural material. Sprinkle the cloth lightly with flour. We put the dough on top of the flour and roll it out as much as possible using a rolling pin.
   
7. Having rolled out the dough as much as possible with a rolling pin, we begin to stretch it with our hands. This must be done around the entire circumference of the dough and from the center to the edges. You must stretch the dough so that it becomes translucent.
   
8. Smooth the stretched dough on a tablecloth and grease with melted butter (you need about 35 g) with a silicone brush.
   
9. We put the filling on the dough evenly and start to roll the dough with the filling on the roll, lifting not the dough itself (it is very thin and can break), but the tablecloth on which it lies.
   
10. We turn the rolled up strudel onto a baking sheet previously covered with parchment paper. Lubricate the strudel on top with the remaining half of melted butter.
    
11. On top of the strudel (along the entire length) we make small cuts with a knife.
    
12. We put the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes (to the lower level). After a specified period of time, we take the strudel out of the oven, let it cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar. We cut the strudel in batch slices and proceed to the meal. Enjoy your meal!
