Macadamia Free Apple Strudel

Warm spiced apples wrapped in layer upon layer of shatteringly crisp, golden phyllo — this classic strudel is the kind of dessert that makes a whole kitchen smell incredible. Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more floral heat than the standard variety, and it pairs beautifully with the light caramel syrup that forms as the apples cook down in the skillet. A scatter of breadcrumbs beneath the filling is the old-school trick that keeps everything from turning soggy, so every slice holds together perfectly. Rolling the whole thing up with the help of a kitchen towel sounds fancier than it is — the technique is genuinely approachable, and the payoff is a bakery-worthy pastry straight from your own oven. Because the ingredient list is so straightforward — apples, butter, phyllo, sugar, and spice — there's no need to scan labels or worry about unexpected additions sneaking in. A dusting of powdered sugar right before serving is the finishing touch that makes it look as good as it tastes.
