Apple Strudel (Low-Sugar)
This is an apple strudel dessert that can be healthier than some sweet breakfasts, consisting mostly of old-fashioned oats in the recipe.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 to 3 small peeled and cored sliced apples
- 1-1/4 cup flour (oat flour and other traditional fine ground flours combined)
- 1 tbsp butter, cold
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp butter and honey mixture
- raisins
- cinnamon spice (optional)
- Greek yogurt, semi-liquid part
Instructions
- Make the pastry dough mixing flour, water, and butter until a dry grainy texture dough is made that can be rolled out and picked up. Use enough bench flour. Healthy tip: you can use mostly oat flour that you can make from grinding dry, rolled oats.
- Divide the dough in half. For first half: roll out the bottom into a rectangle about 1/4" thick. Don't make too thin. From a circular form shape, fold in sides and re-roll. For second dough half: roll out slightly thinner and 1/8" thin (but thick enough to pick up pieces without them falling apart). Roll out strips about 1/2" wide or to preference.
- Layer apples on the bottom half. Add the dough strips in a diagonal pattern leaving some gaps, and interweaving (like a classic pie design). Add raisins in the gaps.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon spice. Brush with butter and honey mixture.
- Bake on 325°F/165°C for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool and pipe Greek yogurt on top.
