How to cook strudel with apples?
The classic traditional approach to cooking any dish is always the most successful, so first we prepare the Viennese strudel with apples, cinnamon and raisins (Apfelstrudel).

Preparation
Sift the flour into a large bowl, make a groove in the slide, add a pinch of salt, eggs, rum and lemon juice. Thoroughly mix. Lubricate the hands with vegetable oil and, gradually pouring water, mix the dough. The dough should turn out not sticking to the hands, elastic and soft. We divide it into 8 pieces. Melt the butter, each piece of dough with a hand (in a thick cake) and smear the melted butter. Now we will join 2 cakes, putting one on the other, transfer them to a flat plate, cover with a food film and put in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
We make the filling. We will peel apples from peel and seeds, cut into small flat blocks or cubes, mix with washed raisins, sprinkle with sugar mixed with cinnamon and breadcrumbs.
After 2 hours, take the dough from the refrigerator. Again, grease the flat cakes with butter and again put one on the other. It turned out 2. Now roll out each cake in turn on the table, sprinkled with flour, as thin as possible. Lubricate with oil and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. We spread out the filling in the form of strips, a short distance from each other. This is done to avoid cracking of the schruder. We fold the roll and put it on a baking tray, oiled, and better spread over oiled baking paper.
