I found this in my mother-in-laws collection with a note that it was from her sister-in-law Evvy. As I was typing this, I realized it might be a good idea to read through this recipe thoroughly before making it.
5 lg. green apples peeled cored & cut 1/4 in slices
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. golden raisins
1/2 c. walnuts ch
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 lb. phyllo dough
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. lemon peel
3/4 c. clarified butter
conf. sugar
Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon peel & raisins. Brush 6 or 7 sheets phyllo dough with butter & layer them to form a stack. Repeat to form a second stack. Sprinkle nuts & bread crumbs on top of dough in a strip 2 1/2 in wide. Leave 2 inches of exposed dough at ea of the narrow ends about 1 in along the side closest to you. Distribute apples mixture evenly over nuts & crumbs. Fold ea narrow end (2 in strips) inward, then starting with the long side nearest you carefully roll the strudel. Repeat for 2nd strudel.
