Apple Strudel À La Sacher - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 strudel pastry dough (see my recipe) or 1 ready-made pastry dough
1 1/2 kg apples
1 lemon (juice)
60 g raisins (soaked in rum)
200 g butter, melted
100 g sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
100 g breadcrumbs
1 pinch cinnamon
butter (for coating)
icing sugar (for dusting)
1 egg (for coating)
For Pastry
250 g flour (preferably pastry flour)
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons butter, melted for coating
125 ml water, lukewarm
2 egg yolks (for coating)
icing sugar (for dusting)
oil
flour (for the work surface)
butter (for coating)

Preparation

Peel and seed the apples. Slice into very thin slices. Dribble over some lemon juice.
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of raisins and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Brush the pastry dough with half of the melted butter, using the rest of the butter to fry the breadcrumbs. Combine the crumbs with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the pastry.
Distribute the apples evenly over the pastry. Roll with the help of a dish towel. Make sure the ends are well closed.
Place the strudel on a greased baking tray. (If the tray is too small, bend the strudel into a horseshoe shape). Brush with the beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180 \u00b0C for 30-40 minutes, occasionally brushing with melted butter.
When done, let the strudel cool, and dust with icing sugar. The strudel can be served either warm or cold.
For Pastry:
For the pastry, heap some flour onto a work surface and knead the pastry ingredients into a smooth, elastic dough.
Shape into a ball and place in a soup bowl dribbled with oil. Cover, and refrigerate, preferably over night.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry dough into a square with a rolling pin. Pull until very thin. To do this, make sure your hands are covered in flour, place one hand under the dough and use the other hand to carefully pull the dough out from the center. The dough should become so thin that it's almost transparent.
