Streudel

This is the little life journey of an apple strudel that  I made for Phil to take to school and share with his lab group. Rumor has it that they liked it o.k. I would like to apologize for the haphazardness of the structure of this blog, but then again I don't really feel all that bad because it took me at least 2 hours just to get the pictures in the right order. Enjoy!





 

Step 1 Lots of apples!







Apples... like this one.





So this is a few steps later,... apples are cooked and cooled, dough was made 4 hours before hand and now I am beginning to stretch it out.



Stretching the dough is a process...



a very tedious process

...



...

but the end result is pretty neat. that small chunk of dough covers the whole table!

the stretched dough must then be buttered, liberally

apple filling close up.

then the apples are placed      

Some graham cracker crumbs to absorb some of the apple juice as the streudel bakes.

all ready to roll up.

the careful rolling begins, its harder than it looks to not rip a hole in the dough.

the rest of the rolling process is fairly easy. You thought the table cloth was there just to for looks didn't you.

half way rolled

all the way rolled! Ready for the pan.

after



hungry? you should be that just took 5 1/2 hours!
