Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon lard, melted
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups butter, melted
1 cup toasted bread crumbs
1 cup ground walnuts
3 1/2 pounds apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
3/4 cup raisins
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups white sugar

Directions

1

Sift all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Mix in egg, water, white sugar, lard and salt. Knead until soft and smooth. Lightly brush with approximately 1 tablespoon butter. Cover with a towel and set aside 1 hour.
2

Mix bread crumbs and 3/4 cup butter in a medium bowl. Mix in ground walnuts, apples, raisins, cinnamon and sugar.
3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter a medium baking dish.
4

Spread a clean tablecloth or cotton sheet on a large work surface and dust with flour. Gently stretch the dough into a large, very thin rectangle as thin as tissue paper. Cut away thick edges. Sprinkle with approximately 1/2 cup melted butter. Spread bread crumb mixture across the dough, leaving a two inch border on all sides. Fold one end of the dough over the filling, then roll dough to form strudel. Cut so that it will fit the baking dish.
5

Place strudel in baking dish and brush with remaining butter. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and apples are tender, about 1 hour.
