Ingredients

-A large baking tray (size 20 x 15 centimetres)

• 10 thin filo pastry sheets
• 4 large apples (Golden Delicious or Granny Smith)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 100 millilitres apple juice
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius (356 Fahrenheit).
2. Line the baking tray with a sheet of parchment paper, then set aside.
3. Peel the apples, then core them and cut into thin slices (small enough that your 3 and 7 year old can handle without any issues).
4. Place the filo pastry sheets on a work surface and lay them out flat. Brush each sheet with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.
5. Place the apple slices in the centre of the pastry and add the lemon juice and apple juice.
6. Now comes the fun bit! Your 3 and 7 year old can help to roll up the pastry, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Have your kids give the dough a few gentle tucks here and there to secure it.
7. Place the strudel on the parchment-lined baking tray and brush with melted butter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown. And the strudel is done - don’t forget to smile - kids love smiles!
