Israeli strudel! The silan gives the apples a delicious deep flavor with a nod to local cuisine.

Makes 1 strudel.

Ingredients:

6 sheets filo dough

100 g butter, melted

2 tbsp almonds, ground

Filling Ingredients:

3 apples, cut into cubes

30 g butter

1/2 cup (125 g) Kinneret Farm natural silan

A little cinnamon

1/3 cup small raisins

To Serve:

Powdered sugar

Preparation:

Heat apples, butter and silan in a pan until the butter is melted. Season with a little cinnamon, add raisins and continue cooking for 5 minutes until the apples are slightly soft. Remove from the heat and cool.
Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking pan with baking paper.
Brush the filo sheets with melted butter and lay them down overlapping each other. Sprinkle the ground almonds over the whole sheet and arrange the apple and silan filling in a line along the bottom third of the sheet. Fold the sheets over the filling roll.
Cut into 3-4 cm servings, but do not slice apart completely. Lay out the roll on the baking pan. Spread with melted butter.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden-brown. Slice, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
