Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 organic Pink Lady Apples
- 3 organic dried Figs
- 3 tbsp organic Raisins
- 3 tbsp Coconut Flakes
- 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar (optional)
- 1/2 fresh squeezed Lemon
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Walnuts (or sunflower seeds for nut-free option)
- 1/4 cup Medjool Dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour (or sunflower seed flour for nut-free option)
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- Pinch of Sea Salt
Instructions
- Peel, core, and cut the apples in half. Place them in a food processor along with the dried figs, raisins, coconut flakes, coconut sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pulse a few times until the mixture is coarsely grated. Set the filling aside.
- In the same food processor, combine the walnuts (or sunflower seeds), Medjool dates, almond flour (or sunflower seed flour), coconut oil, and sea salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Spread the dough mixture onto a flat surface, forming a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Evenly spread the apple filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other, forming a log shape. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Refrigerate the strudel for at least 1 hour to firm up before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with sunflower seeds and almond flour with sunflower seed flour. Store the strudel in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This recipe is perfect for those with dietary restrictions as it is free from gluten, grains, and refined sugar.
