Ingredients
Green Cabbage
4 cups (finely chopped)
Onion
1/4 cup (chopped)
Apples
1 1/2 cups (peeled and chopped)
Raisins
1/3 cup
Sour Cream
1/4 cup
Prepared Mustard
1 teaspoon
Cheddar Cheese
1 cup (shredded)
Phyllo Dough
8 sheets (thawed)
Butter
1/2 cup (melted)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Grease a 15 x 10 x 2 inch jellyroll pan with cooking spray.
3
In a large nonstick skillet, heat a small amount of cooking spray over medium heat until hot.
4
Add the finely chopped cabbage and onion to the skillet; cover and cook for approximately 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cabbage mixture, chopped apples, and raisins.
6
In a separate small bowl, mix together the sour cream and prepared mustard, then stir this mixture into the cabbage blend until well incorporated.
7
Set the filling aside to let the flavors meld.
8
Take one sheet of phyllo dough at a time and lightly brush it with melted butter, layering it over another sheet; repeat until you have stacked 4 sheets.
9
Place a generous portion of the cabbage mixture lengthwise down one-third of the phyllo stack, leaving a 1-inch border.
10
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling for added flavor.
11
Starting from the longest side, carefully roll the phyllo dough up jellyroll-style, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped. Place the rolled strudel seam side down on the prepared baking pan.
12
Tuck any exposed ends under to create a secure seal, and with a sharp knife, make diagonal slashes about ¼ inch deep and 2 inches apart across the top of the strudel for ventilation.
13
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the strudel is golden brown and flaky.
14
Allow the strudel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
