Apple Strudel

Ingredients:

1 pound sweet apples -- peeled, cored and thinly sliced 
1/4 cup golden raisins 
1/4 cup dried currants 
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
2 tablespoons white sugar 
2 slices brown bread, crumbled 
1/2 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough 
1/4 cup butter, melted 

Servings: 4

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 

2. In a bowl, combine apples, raisins, currants, cinnamon, sugar and bread crumbs. Stir well. 

3. Spread several sheets of pastry generously with melted butter and lay them on atop the other on a baking sheet. Spread the fruit mixture evenly over the top sheet, then roll the sheets up to form a log shape. Brush with melted butter again. 

4. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and fruit is tender.
