Apple Strudel with Almonds and Banana

We continue playing with filo dough and experimenting with the stuffing.

This time, instead of crackers, which are sprinkled over the dough before spreading the stuffing, we took ground almonds.

It coped well with the task of absorbing excess moisture and gave a more rich flavor to the stuffing. The dough did not soak, and the juice did not flow out during baking. The crust remained crispy and the filling – juicy.
