mennonite apple strudel

December 8th, 2008

You might not accept that you could lose weight while on a diet which includes mennonite apple strudel but it is obtainable. It is fundamental to not eat mennonite apple strudel or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories per day, and then on the last day, I eat whatever I like - without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also believe it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Mennonite Apple Strudel

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup warm water
5 cups sliced apples
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
5 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Grated rind of 1 lemon

Sift the flour and salt together. Cut in the shortening and add the eggs and water. Knead well, then throw or beat the dough against a board until it blisters. Stand the dough in a warm place under a cloth for 20 minutes.

Cover the kitchen table with a small white cloth and flour it. Put the dough on it and pull it out with your hands very carefully to the thickness of tissue paper. Spread with a mixture of the fruits, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and lemon rind. Fold in the outer edges of the dough and roll like a jellyroll - about 4 inches wide. Bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees F) for 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and bake about 20 minutes longer. Let cool. Cut into slices about 2 inches wide. It should be flaky and moist.
