ReceptnaptárŠtrudla s jabukama (filo apple strudel with little sugar)
Štrudla s jabukama is a legacy of the Habsburg Monarchy in the Balkans too, where almost every family makes it. This version is lighter with little sugar and filo pastry, and the oats soak up the apple juice so the pastry stays crisp. Walnuts, honey, cinnamon and plenty of tart apples give it its flavour. It is really good lukewarm with a spoonful of yogurt.

Tips
- Squeeze the grated apple out a little, because too much juice soaks the thin filo.
- Brush the sheets thinly, because filo pastry easily becomes heavy with too much fat.
- Score the top before baking, because that lets the steam escape and keeps the crust crisp.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be made with strudel pastry?
Yes, shop-bought strudel pastry and filo are very similar. Thicker sheets need fewer layers, and the baking time is almost the same.
What can replace the oats?
Breadcrumbs or crushed biscuits also work. Both soak up the apple juice, so the base does not turn soggy.
