Transform store-bought phyllo into a sophisticated cherry, apple, and ricotta dessert
In short: This recipe simplifies the classic strudel by utilizing pre-made phyllo pastry. By combining tart pie cherries, fresh apples, and creamy ricotta, you can assemble a crisp, golden dessert that is both approachable and impressive for family gatherings.
The process begins by preparing a fruit mixture of thinly sliced apples and a 398 mL can of pie cherries, seasoned with half the sugar. Separately, a creamy filling is created by mixing ricotta, lemon rind, cinnamon, and the remaining sugar. The base is constructed by layering phyllo sheets, each brushed with melted butter, and finished with a dusting of almond meal to provide texture.
Once the fruit and ricotta mixtures are layered onto the pastry, the strudel is rolled tightly and baked at 350ºF (180ºC) for 25 minutes. The result is a crisp, golden pastry that is finished with a simple dusting of icing sugar before serving.
