Ingredients

3/4 (770g) can sliced apple

1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoon brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoon currants

1/2 teaspoon mixed spice

10 sheets filo pastry

light olive oil cooking spray

1/4 cup soft fresh multigrain breadcrumbs

1 cup low-fat vanilla custard

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Combine apple, walnuts, sugar currants and spice in a bowl.

2.Stack pastry sheets, spraying with oil between each sheet. Sprinkle pastry with breadcrumbs, leaving a 5cm border. Top with apple mixture. Gently fold in sides of pastry, roll up firmly to enclose apple mixture and form a log. Place, seam-side down, on prepared tray.

3.Spray top of strudel with oil. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven. Stand for 10 minutes. Cut into slices. Serve with custard.

Cover pastry with a clean, damp tea-towel to prevent drying out.
