Servings: 10
Ingredients

Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine cherries with sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and amaretto.

Place 1 phyllo leaf on a kitchen towel and brush lightly with oil. Place a second leaf on top and brush with oil again. Repeat until 3 leaves have been used. Sprinkle 1/3 bread crumbs on the top phyllo leaf. Spoon 1/3 of the filling in a 3-inch strip along the narrow end of the phyllo, leaving a 2-inch border. Lift towel, using it to roll leaves over filling, jelly roll fashion. Place the strudel on a baking tray, seam side down. Brush top of the strudel with oil.

Repeat the entire procedure until you use all pastry and filling. You will get 3 strudels.

Bake in 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) preheated oven for about 30-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
-
Take out of the oven. Allow the strudel to cool for at least 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
I am looking for recipes that you can incorporate dried cherries. Again, your site is way to difficult and cluttered to navigate. You should be able to put the word in search, but I am always getting the error no recipes found.
I’m aware of that. I’ve tried several different search engines, but non of them worked as it should. This is the best one I could find that is compatible with my theme. I’ll keep looking.
