Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
  • 1 cup sliced peeled fresh pears
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
  • 8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon zest and nutmeg. Add the apples, pears and extracts; toss to coat.
  2. 2
    Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; lightly brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Layer with seven more sheets of phyllo, brushing each layer with some of the butter.
  3. 3
    Spoon apple mixture lengthwise over phyllo within 2 in. of a long side; fold in edges. Roll up, starting from the long side.
  4. 4
    Place seam side down in a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. With a sharp knife, cut diagonal slits in top of strudel. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
