Apple Strrudel

3 cups Gala or Golden Delicious apples, cored and quartered, then sliced thin across
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 Tbsp. grated lemon rind
1 tsp, fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar + 4 tsp. sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds
8 oz. phyllo pastry (½ box), thawed in refrigerator
1/4 cup oil
4 Tbsp. butter
Butter flavored cooking spray
1 cup breadcrumbs, finely crushed

Mix apples, raisins, lemon rind, and juice, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and almonds. Brown bread crumbs in 1 Tbsp. butter and divide in half. Melt remaining butter and mix with oil. Open phyllo and unroll onto a smooth dry surface. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and then with a damp towel. Place 1 leaf of phyllo on a dry kitchen towel. Brush lightly with butter mixture and spray lightly with butter flavored spray. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Add another layer and repeat, sprinkling each additional layer lightly with crumbs rather than sugar. Repeat until 5 leaves have been used. Mound 1/2 of the filling in a 3-inch strip along the long end of the phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border from the edge and on either side. Sprinkle any remaining crumbs over the phyllo.. Fold in sides, and lift towel, using it to roll the phyllo over apples, jelly roll fashion. Brush edge with butter to seal. Repeat for second strudel . Brush tops of strudels with remaining butter mixture and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place strudels on foil-lined baking sheet and score each strudel across the top into six pieces. Bake at 475 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until browned. Serve with ice cream and/or whipped cream. Makes 12 servings.
