Ingredients

For the Pastry:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup cold water
For the Filling:
  • 5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or less for reduced sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
For the Topping:
  • Powdred sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry: In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Cut in the chilled butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, stirring with a fork until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.

  3. Roll Out the Pastry: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer it gently onto a piece of parchment paper.

  4. Assemble the Strudel: Spread the apple mixture in a thin layer over two-thirds of the pastry, leaving a border around the edges. Dot with small pieces of butter. Fold the uncovered third of the dough over the filling, then fold in the sides to enclose it completely. Gently roll the strudel using the parchment paper as support.

  5. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the rolled strudel onto a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. Finish with Topping: Allow the strudel to cool slightly, then dust generously with powdered sugar just before serving.
