  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tsp ground ginger

  2. Make the cheesecake base, pressing base into 8 round molds (each about 2 inches in diameter).

Caramelized Apple Strudel

Caramelized Apple Strudel
Prep Time
60 minutes prep time + 2 hour rest time for dough
Number of Servings
Serves 12
Ingredients

Dough

  • [q:1/2] cup plus 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • [q:1/2] cup white whole-wheat flour
  • [q:1/2] cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • [q:1/4] tsp salt
  • [q:1/4] cup sunflower or safflower oil
  • [q:1/2] cup water
  • Honey for drizzling (optional)

Filling

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • [q:1/4] cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • [q:1/2] tsp cinnamon
  • 4 Gala apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into [q:1/2]-inch thick slices
  • 3 Tbsp ground almonds
Directions
  1. To make dough, place all-purpose flour, white whole-wheat flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, salt, oil, and water into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix with a dough hook attachment, or by hand, until mixture comes together into a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature.
  2. To prepare filling, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add coconut oil, brown sugar, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir. Add apples to pan and cook them, stirring often, for about 6 to 8 minutes, until apples are fork-tender. Place mixture into a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes. Add ground almonds and mix well.
  3. When dough is ready, preheat oven to 375°. Divide dough into 3 pieces. Cut off a large piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with some all-purpose flour. Roll out a piece of dough into a rectangle about 8 by 14 inches, lifting dough a few times to add more flour underneath it. Place a third of filling down length of dough, 2 inches from edge. Fold in right and left sides (the short sides) about 1 inch from edge. Roll long end of dough (with filling), into a tight, long log. Place it on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan lined with parchment. Repeat same steps to make 2 other logs.
  4. Bake strudel for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is lightly browned, and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of honey over top, if desired.
