– 7 honey crisp apples
– 1/2 lemon juice
– 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp butter divided
– 1 cups brown sugar
– 2 tsp cinnamon
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup golden raisins
– 1 tbsp rum
– 2 tbsp corn starch
– 3/4 cup pecans
– 1 package phyllo dough
Remember to brush the entire apple strudel with butter to help it brown and also to keep it moist. Being so thin, the phyllo dough sheets can dry out easily.
