This adaptation of apfelstrudel, a traditional Austrian baked apple dessert, is made with less added sugar, uses avocado oil instead of butter and calls for whole-wheat phyllo dough for a nutritious dessert. Tart Granny Smith apples are used, but any apple variety can be substituted. Enjoy this fruit-filled dessert warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cappuccino.
2 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (about 2 small)
¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip)
¼ cup raisins, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes then drained
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
6 sheets phyllo dough, preferably whole-wheat, thawed
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1½ teaspoons confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
