I have long wanted to prepare this Apple strudel which brings me a lot of good memories of the South of Chile, where it is so popular. My mother-in-law always used to do it, the last time we did it together and she added murtas (a native type of berries from the South of Chile) to make it different. This delicacy is commonly enjoyed at tea time.
On this occasion I took the opportunity to do it again to update the old photos that I had and in turn to refine details of the recipe itself. The first time I published it was in 2008, it is impressive how many years have passed and how long I have been publishing recipes.
You can use green or red apples, both work well for this preparation. For those who have trouble with walnuts, there is no problem omitting them.
If you ask me if you can replace the breadcrumbs, it could be for walnuts or ground almonds, however it is not the same consistency, the flavor that the bread gives is different, and provides it with a touch of its classic flavor and texture.
It is not necessary to refrigerate it once it is made, it can be kept tightly covered at room temperature.
In the following photos you will be able to appreciate the preparation process, perhaps the most complicated part is when it must be rolled up, do it calmly and leave it completely closed as seen in the images.
