Craving a cozy fall bake? 🍂✨
This Healthy Apple Strudel is filled with tender apples, warm spices, and a golden flaky crunch comfort in every bite without the guilt. 🍏
Naturally sweetened, and the perfect autumn treat to enjoy with your morning coffee or as a warm dessert.
Ingredients
4 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored & thinly sliced
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (for natural sweetness)
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp vanilla extract
6 sheets filo pastry, thawed
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ cup graham crackers, finely crushed (about 6–7 crackers)
Optional garnish: powdered sugar, or a drizzle of warm maple syrup
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, toss apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Set aside.
3. Lay out one sheet of filo pastry, brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers. Repeat with remaining sheets, layering as you go.
4. Spoon apple mixture along one long side of the filo stack, leaving an inch border. Roll up carefully into a log, tucking in the ends. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5. Brush top with more butter and sprinkle with extra graham crumbs.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla Greek yogurt.
