Categories: Fruits, Nuts, Pastry, Desserts, Dairy
     Yield: 6 servings

   100 g  Golden granulated sugar
          - plus extra
          Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla
          - pod
     4    Granny Smith apples; peeled,
          - diced
    25 g  Currants
    25 g  Sultanas
     1 ts Ground allspice
     1 ts Ground nutmeg
    85 g  Walnuts; chopped
     6 lg Sheets filo pastry
    50 g  Butter; melted
   200 mL Tub creme fraiche

 Heat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C/355°F fan) gas 6.

 Heat 75 g sugar and the vanilla seeds in a medium,
 heavy-based frying pan over a medium-low heat for 5-8
 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the
 apples, currants, sultanas, allspice, nutmeg and
 walnuts, then cook for 10 minutes or until the apple is
 tender. Remove the apple mix from the pan with a slotted
 spoon and cool to room temperature.

 Line two baking trays with baking paper. Place a sheet
 of filo on one of the trays, then brush lightly with the
 melted butter. Sprinkle over 1 ts sugar. Repeat the
 process until there are 3 layers of filo. Repeat with
 the remaining sheets of filo on the second tray.

 Divide the apple mix along the shorter edge of both
 pastry sheets and gently roll into 2 logs, tucking in
 the ends as you go. Brush with melted butter and
 sprinkle over 1 tb sugar. Can be made up to one day
 ahead, kept chilled. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the
 pastry is golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly,
 then cut each strudel into 6 diagonal slices. Serve two
 slices each with a dollop of creme fraiche on the side.
