Sometimes you want sweets so much that you don’t have the strength to endure, but there is no desire at all to confine yourself to sandwiches with jam. So what to do? Of course, get out of the situation, using improvised means. For example, strudel will be very interesting from pita bread. This recipe is simple and original. In fact, the pie can include everything that is in the refrigerator too much. Only the apple filling remains unchanged . And considering that apples can be bought all year round, even a beginner can handle this.
Why do it?
Any housewife will be delighted if she is offered an interesting and fresh recipe for a familiar dish. It seems that the strudel has already become boring to everyone, but if it is based on thin pita bread, it will gain a new sound and will delight its taste. This recipe will appeal to young housewives, but it will come in handy for experienced cooks as well, because it is simply reactive in time and has almost no effect on taste.
All the work consists only in preparing the filling, and the cake itself is folded in two minutes and sent to the pan with butter. And there five minutes - and everything is ready. Most often make a quick pita pie in winter . Strudel can be varied and apples diluted with strawberries or lemon zest. This is a good option for breakfast for a large family, when there is simply no time to mess with the test. Peaches are very harmoniously combined with apples in the season, but they should be very soft, almost mashed. You can also add raisins, nuts, spices, pears or plums.
Why love?
We love thin pita bread even without filling and seasonings. And all because it is an extremely authentic appetizer. Pita bread is good for sandwiches, and with a delicate apple filling it will be an excellent dessert. We love strudel for its tenderness and brightness of taste, and this recipe is good for its simplicity.
Dessert will surely turn out not only in taste characteristics, but also in appearance, since thin pita bread allows all kinds of experiments with the form. You can make a lot of filling and in the apple mass hide dried fruits, which are useful for children. Or you can add a drop of liquor to make an “adult” dessert. In any case, pita bread allows for a flight of fancy, which is especially nice in the midst of monotonous treats.
What we need?
To make strudel out of pita bread, we will stock up directly with pita bread itself. For a family of three, one thin sheet is enough. The filling will go two large apples and two peaches, as well as half a teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of sugar and a slice of butter. Instead of cream, you can also use vegetable, but with a creamy taste it is better. You can add speckled apples to the filling, as they are softer and juicier. If they have a thin peel, then you can not peel it off, because in the total mass it will not be felt.
For greater juiciness of taste, you can add fat-free cottage cheese and a spoonful of sour cream or natural yogurt to the filling. A bag of vanilla sugar and a drop of grated chocolate will add originality to the taste.
Work has gone
So, we begin to implement the recipe for strudel from pita bread with the preparation of the filling. Cut apples into slices, removing dark places. In a deep frying pan, heat the oil and spread the bottom with thin apple slices, and then immediately cover with a lid. Fruits of summer varieties do not need to be covered. On the contrary, they are steamed and turned into mashed potatoes. The apples need to be slightly extinguished and seasoned with sugar. Further, spices are used - nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and dried mint. Everything needs to be gently mixed and left to “rest”. If you make the filling thicker, then in parallel you can beat sour cream with cottage cheese and vanilla in a mixer, and then combine with cooled apples.
Now it is time to deploy the base of pita bread. The strudel should resemble a roll in shape, and therefore deploy the pita bread in full length. Put the cooled filling on pita bread and add slices of peaches. The roll should be moderately tight and juicy. Now it can be cut into large pieces and fry in oil. So the fragrant strudel is ready, which remains only to decorate and serve.
Serving and tasting
You can bake lavash strudel with apples in the oven and do without excess oil. With this approach, the recipe will turn out even dietary. For decoration, natural yogurt or low-fat sour cream, which you need to beat with a blender, is also suitable. To this sauce, you can add honey and beaten egg white, which will add airiness to the total mass. Chopped strudel into slices and place in the oven for a few minutes. Sprinkle the finished cake with cinnamon and make air peaks from the sauce using a cooking syringe. You can also use condensed milk, berry jam or grated chocolate for decoration. It takes about half an hour along with the time to preheat the oven for all the work. Strudel is ready, and it's time to serve it to the table. For general beauty, you can add a pinch of powdered sugar and call home. For hot tea, strudel is the best dessert!
