Instructions
- Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions if frozen.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Melt the vegan butter. You'll use this to brush between the phyllo layers.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into small cubes. Aim for about 4 large apples or 500g of apple cubes.
- In a large bowl, mix the apple cubes with the ground cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Adjust these amounts based on your apple quantity and taste preference. A good rule of thumb is 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 25g of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice per large apple.
- Fold in 100g of the vegan sour cream into the apple mixture.
- Lay out a clean kitchen towel and place one sheet of phyllo dough on it. Brush the sheet lightly with melted vegan butter.
- Layer another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter. Repeat with the third sheet.
- Spread the apple filling along one long edge of the phyllo, leaving a border of about 2 inches on the sides.
- Using the kitchen towel to help you, carefully roll the phyllo around the filling, creating a log shape.
- Tuck in the ends and place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top of the strudel with any remaining melted vegan butter.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- While still warm, spread the remaining 100g of vegan sour cream evenly over the top of the strudel.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in a 150°C (300°F) oven for about 10 minutes to re-crisp the pastry.
