Apricot and Pecan Strudel

Proudly supported by

TIP! Try replacing apricots with a 770g can sliced apple pie fruit. Strudel can be cooked up to several hours ahead. Stand, loosely covered with foil, at room temperature. Before serving, heat uncovered, in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 15 minutes, or until warm. 

Ingredients

825g can apricot halves in juice, drained

1 ¼ cups pecans (150g)

¾ cup demerara sugar

10 sheets filo pastry

125g unsalted butter, melted

Method

  1. Arrange apricots in a single layer on an oven tray lined with absorbent kitchen paper. Stand for 10 minutes until excess juice has been absorbed. 

  2. Process pecans in a food processor until finely chopped. Place in a medium bowl. Stir in sugar.

  3. Place one pastry sheet on a clean bench. Brush evenly with butter. Sprinkle over 2 tablespoons of the pecan mixture. Continue layering with remaining pastry, butter and pecan mixture, finishing with a pastry sheet. Reserve remaining butter and pecan mixtures.

  4. Arrange apricots down the centre of pastry in a log-shape, leaving a 10cm border on long sides and 7cm on short sides. Fold in short sides, then starting at one long side, roll up to enclose filling. Place seam-side down on a greased, large oven tray. 

  5. Brush reserved butter over pastry. Using a serrated knife, cut slits about 3cm apart, across top of strudel. Sprinkle with reserved pecan mixture.

  6. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove. Stand for 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.

  7. Using a large serrated knife, cut into slices. Serve warm with ice-cream (optional).
