Recipe Rumble

Ingredients:
Four red apples, diced small
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup water
1 pound frozen filo dough, thawed
1 cup ground Almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons white sugar

Directions:
Combine first six ingredients together in medium saucepan and simmer over low heat until apples and cranberries are tender. Remove from heat, cool slightly and set aside. Combine almonds, cinnamon and remaining sugar and set aside. Lay a sheet of dough down and spray lightly with nonstick spray, sprinkle very lightly with almond mixture. Repeat layering with filo dough and almond mixture until you have eight layers. Place 2-cups of filling across the short side of the layered dough and roll gently but firmly to make a loaf or roll. Spray the top with nonstick spray, score eight slices with a serrated knife and sprinkle with remaining nut mix. Place strudel on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and bake at 350-degrees for 35-45 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, then slice into eight pieces and serve. Recipe makes eight servings.
