Brazil Nut Free Apple Strudel

Warm, spiced apples wrapped in shatteringly crisp, golden phyllo — this classic strudel is the kind of dessert that makes a whole kitchen smell incredible. The filling comes together in a single skillet, where thinly sliced apples soften into a lightly syrupy mixture fragrant with Ceylon cinnamon, before being rolled into buttery layers of pastry. Breadcrumbs tucked beneath the filling do the quiet work of absorbing any extra moisture, keeping the bottom layers just as flaky as the top. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, store-bought pastries and bakery strudels can be a real minefield — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Layering and rolling phyllo sounds intimidating, but a kitchen towel makes the whole process surprisingly manageable, even for a first attempt. A dusting of powdered sugar right before serving gives it that classic, café-worthy finish without any fuss.
