National "Dine for America" Event Set for October 5, 2005

On October 5, 2005, restaurants from across the country will band together in a "Dine for America" day, a national fundraising effort to support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and help those affected by Hurricane Katrina and their families.

Operators can donate all or part of their sales or proceeds on October 5th, make a donation for each sale of a specific item, or provide donation canisters for guests to contribute. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go to the hurricane victims and their families via the Red Cross.

For the Rest of the Story

Today's Recipe: Apple Strudel

Makes 12 to 15 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup dark seedless raisins
2 tablespoons brandy
2 cups apples, pared and thinly sliced (Granny Smith are great!)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 tablespoon brandy
6 sheets Athens™ or Apollo™ fillo dough
4 tablespoons butter, melted
powdered sugar for strudel top

Preparation:

Soak raisins in 2 tablespoons of brandy about 2 hours. Combine raisin mixture, apples, walnuts, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, lemon peel, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl. Set aside.

In small skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and stir in bread crumbs. Cook until browned (but not too dark). In a small saucepan, heat apricot preserves over low heat until hot. Stir in 1 tablespoon brandy.

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Layer fillo sheets on a linen-like kitchen towel, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Spread entire surface with hot apricot mixture; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Spoon apple mixture along longest end of fillo in a 3 inch strip, leaving a 1/2 inch border.

Using the towel for assistance, lift to roll fillo over filling to form a jelly roll. Place strudel seam side down on lightly buttered jelly roll pan. Brush with butter. Score strudel diagonally through the top few leaves into 12 to 15 equal sections. Bake at 350 degrees F until strudel is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into servings.
