A Dessert just in time for Fall: Apple Streudel

Ingredients:


  • 4 pieces frozen phyllo dough, at room temperature

  • 3 tsp reduced-calorie margarine, melted
  • 2 Tbsp dried bread crumbs, plain
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 small apple(s), peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp dried cranberries
Makes 4 Servings

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F; spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place the sheets of phyllo on a work surface and cut into four 12 x 8 1/2 inch rectangles; cover with a damp towel. Stack 2 rectangles and brush 1 teaspoon of margarine; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of bread crumbs. Stack remaining 2 rectangles directly over bread crumbs; brush with another teaspoon of margarine and sprinkle with remaining teaspoon of bread crumbs.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; add apples and toss to coat. Spread apple mixture lengthwise down the center of the phyllo and sprinkle with dried cranberries. Roll up the dough; place the strudel, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Brush the top of the strudel with the remaining teaspoon of margarine. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Note: This recipes appears on WeightWatchers.com. I cooked this recipe when I was first loosing weight. It's a very simple recipe and it's one of my favorites. I highly recommend using Granny Smith Apples because they are very tart, easy to cook and have more flavor and aftertaste.
