Delicious Apple Strudel with Filo Pastry

Start by **cutting the apples into small cubes**. The more apples you use, the better and more flavorful your strudel will be. Choose your favorite variety for the best results.

In a large bowl, **combine the chopped apples with sugar, chopped nuts, and cinnamon**. Adjust the amounts based on your personal taste preferences. This mixture is what gives the strudel its delightful flavor.

Next, **lay the filo pastry in a greased baking dish**, making sure to leave enough overhang to cover the filling later. This layering will help achieve that crisp texture we are looking for.

Then, **brush the pastry layers generously with melted butter** to add richness and flavor.

Spread the apple filling evenly over the layered pastry. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make it difficult to close the strudel properly.

Now, **fold the overhanging pastry over the filling** and brush the top with more melted butter. Finally, **sprinkle some sugar on top** to create a crispy crust during baking.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit). **Bake the strudel for approximately 60-70 minutes** or until you achieve a gorgeous golden-brown crust. This is the perfect mark of doneness!

Once baked, allow the strudel to cool slightly before serving. It is best enjoyed **warm, paired with a scoop of ice cream and a cup of hot tea**. This will elevate your dessert experience to the next level!
