Apricot Pecan Butter Strudel

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering five sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other, brushing each layer with butter.

4. Spread half of the apricot preserves evenly over the top layer of phyllo dough.

5. Sprinkle half of the pecan mixture over the apricot preserves.

6. Carefully roll up the phyllo dough into a log, tucking in the ends as you go to seal the filling inside.

7. Place the strudel on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

8. Repeat the layering and filling process with the remaining phyllo dough, apricot preserves, and pecan mixture to make a second strudel.

9. Brush the tops of the strudels with the remaining melted butter.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the strudels are golden brown and crispy.

11. Remove from the oven and let the strudels cool slightly before slicing.

12. Dust the strudels with powdered sugar before serving.
