Ela's Apple Strudel

My childhood friend, Renata, asked me for this recipe.  This is quite easy to make; children and adults love it, but moreover is healthy with no added sugar.  This is also a very good recipe for people with diabetes.

You will need:

• 10 sheets of phyllo dough (or less depending on your preference of thickness)
• Cinnamon (depends on your taste preference, but enough to coat the apples.
• cloves (ground preferably)
• 2 cups or more of walnuts (depends on your preference)
• 2 medium apples diced or 3 small apples diced
• 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
• Melted butter to butter each sheet

Take a cookie tray and butter it.  Layer a phyllo dough and butter it, add another layer on top of the first one and continue to do so until you have finished with all of them.  In a bowl mix diced apples, cinnamon, cloves, walnuts and raisins.  After mixing, spread the mix all over the phyllo dough.  Roll.  Once you have rolled, butter the roll and cut.  Bake in preheated oven in 400 F degree until golden.  Let cool.  Enjoy hot or cold.

Note:  You may use pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon and cloves.  You may also use walnuts and apples only if you do not prefer anything else in it.  Let your taste buds guide you.  You may also cut the roll after baking it, but it will be more challenging.  It is easier to cut before baking.
