• 1 lemon (squeezed)

• 1-2 Tbsp coconut sugar (depending apple tartness)

• 1 Tbsp Hemp Connect hemp hearts

Instructions

Preparation:

1.      Prepare nutty breadcrumbs: heat the butter in a pan, add breadcrumbs and grated hazelnuts and fry slowly over moderate heat until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside

2.      Peel apples, cut into slices and quickly sprinkle with lemon juice and rum. Depending on the acidity of the apples – and your sweet tooth - add 1-2 tbs coconut sugar, powdered cloves and a generous pinch of cinnamon

3.      Pre-heat the oven to 180°C / 356°F 

4.      Unfold 2 sheets of filo pastry on a baking paper. Distribute the nutty breadcrumbs over around 3/4 of the dough. Scatter the apples and raisins over it. Coat the remaining surface of the dough with melted butter, fold in the edges at both sides and roll up the strudel. Seal the ends well and lift the strudel onto a baking tin using the baking paper

5.      Coat with melted butter

6.      Do the same with the next 2 filo pastry sheets

7.      Bake for 30 – 40mins or until golden brown

Vanilla Sauce

1. Mix the corn starch with 50ml of the plant milk

2. Mix the rest of the hemp milk with the vanilla extract and bring to the boil

3. Add sugar and corn starch to the boiling hemp milk. Whilst stirring, simmer for about 1-2 minutes

4. Finally, stir in the turmeric for the colour
