Serves: 6

2011-08-24

Ingredients

  • 250g filo pastry
  • 4 coxes apples
  • 50g sultanas
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • zest of an orange
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 70g cake crumbs
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 100g marzipan
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar

Method

Start by preparing the filling for the strudel by peeling and coring the apples. Cut the apples into thick slices and place in a saucepan with the sultanas, caster sugar, water, orange zest and cinnamon. Cook for a few minutes, just to slightly soften the apples. Remove the saucepan off the heat and leave apples to cool. Next, lay the filo pastry on a floured work surface and cover with a tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Take one piece of filo pastry, and brush it all over with the melted butter. Place another piece of filo on top, and brush again with some more butter. Place the third piece of filo on top, giving you 3 layers of filo pastry on top of each other. Brush again with some more melted butter. Roll out the marzipan to a long strip, 3 inches wide, and place down the middle of the filo pastry. Add the cake crumbs to the cooked apples and mix well. Pile the apple mixture on top of the marzipan, almost like a large sausage. Fold the extra filo pastry on one side over the apple mixture. Brush this with melted butter, and then fold the remaining filo pastry over again. Close up the ends by folding the excess pastry under the ends of the strudel to seal. Brush with the remaining butter and place the strudel on a large baking tray. Bake in the oven at 200`c, for 30-40 minutes, or until the strudel is golden brown in colour. Remove the apple and cinnamon strudel from the oven and dust with icing sugar. The apple and cinnamon strudel can be served warm or cold, cut into thick slices.

Strudel tat-tuffieħ u l-kannella bil-pastarjali u l-qxur tal-laring

Ingredients

  • 250g filo pastry
  • 4 tuffiħiet cox
  • 50g passolina
  • 50g zokkor fin (caster sugar)
  • 2 mgħaref ilma
  • qoxra maħkuka ta’ larinġa
  • 2 kuċċarini trab tal-kannella
  • 70g frak tal-kejk; 50g butir, imdewweb
  • 100g pastarjali (marżipan)
  • mgħarfa zokkor tal-ġelu (icing sugar)

Method

Lesti l-mili billi tqaxxar it-tuffieħ u tneħħilu ż-żerriegħa. Qattgħu f’biċċiet kbar u itfagħhom f’kazzola mal-passolina, iz-zokkor, l-ilma, il-qoxra maħkuka tal-larinġa u t-trab tal-kannella. Sajjar għal ftit ħin biex it-tuffieħ jirtab ftit. Neħħi l-kazzola minn fuq in-nar u ħalli t-taħlita tibred. Imbagħad, ifrex il-filo pastry fuq wiċċ miksi bid-dqiq u għattiha b’karta tal-kċina biex ma tinxifx. Ħu biċċa mill-għaġina u idlikha bil-butir. Poġġi biċċa għaġina oħra fuqha u idlikha bi ftit butir ieħor. Poġġi t-tielet biċċa għaġina fil-wiċċ u b’hekk ikollok tliet saffi fuq xulxin. Dellek ukoll din l-għaġina bi ftit butir. Iftaħ il-pastarjali fi strixxa twila wiesgħa 3 pulzieri, u poġġiha fin-nofs tal-għaġina. Imbagħad ħawwad il-frak tal-kejk mat-taħlita tat-tuffieħ u ferrixha fuq il-pastarjali biex ikollok bħal romblu. Agħlaq l-għaġina ta’ taħt fuq naħa waħda tat-taħlita tat-tuffieħ, idlikha bil-butir, imbagħad itwi l-biċċa l-oħra tal-għaġina li jkun fadal. Agħlaq ukoll il-ġnub tal-għaġina billi titwihom għal taħt biex tissiġilla l-istrudel. Idlek il-wiċċ bil-butir li jkun fadal u poġġi l-istrudel f’tilar kbir. Aħmi fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 200oC għal 30-40 minuta jew sakemm jiħmar il-wiċċ. Oħroġha mill-forn u ferrex għabra zokkor tal-ġelu fuqha. Qattagħha f’biċċiet ħoxnin u serviha sħuna jew kiesħa.
