Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Strudel Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Gradually add water and olive oil while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Apple Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until apples are well coated.

  3. 3

    Roll out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the rested dough as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. Make sure to keep the edges thinner than the center.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Strudel

    Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the ends. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake the Strudel

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the strudel for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

  6. 6

    Make the Vanilla Bourbon Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and bourbon. Let cool slightly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the warm apple strudel and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with vanilla bourbon sauce.
