A delicious strudel featuring flaky layers of pastry filled with sweet Jersey apples and blackberries, infused with the richness of Jersey butter and a hint of Jersey Royal potato for a unique textural element.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/ Gas Mark 4). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, blackberries, grated Jersey Royal potatoes, caster sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix gently to combine.
Lay a sheet of filo pastry on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted Jersey butter.
Repeat with 3 more sheets of filo pastry, brushing each layer with melted butter. Stack the layers on top of each other.
Spoon the apple and blackberry mixture evenly over the buttered filo pastry, leaving a 2cm border around the edges.
Lay another sheet of filo pastry over the filling, brush with butter and repeat with three more layers, brushing each with butter as before. This seals the filling in.
Fold the edges of the pastry inwards to enclose the filling completely. Brush the entire strudel with melted Jersey butter and then brush it evenly with the Jersey milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Dust with icing sugar before serving, if desired.
Nutrition per serving (140g)
To prevent the base from getting soggy, you can sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs over the first few sheets of filo pastry before adding the filling.
Serve warm with Jersey cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, depending on the sweetness of the apples and blackberries.
