Oh dear - bought bramleys instead of eating apples for a strudel - can I use them, or what else can I do with my filo?

Ooh I was really looking forward to attempting my first ever strudel - it'll be too sharp with bramleys won't it?

Filo needs to be eaten today. What else could I do with it?

MUST READ RECIPES IN FUTURE.

Just add more sugar and a big handful of sultanas. Strudel is cooked, they are cooking apples, It will be fine.

Aren't Bramleys cooking apples? Aren't strudels cooked?

Just shove a load of sugar in.

Ooh more sugar do you think? Don't have sultanas. Might give it a whirl!

More sugar, it'll be fine.

This may be my general philosophy in life

Thanks all - will report back!

Pacific I can't believe you eat them! Do they not give you tummy ache like my mum said they would? Grin

No, they don't Blush
I am not sure whether I am just a greedy pig with a constitution of steel or whether they will give me a sore stomach now that I know that they are supposed to... Confused.

Hope your strudel turns out delicious!

They are actually the perfect apples for strudels. I make my traditional Austrian Apfelstrudel with sweet breadcrumbs (fry breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp of sugar and butter until golden brow) and spice apples with cinnamon.
I've also got some other nice recipes on my blog using bramley apples www.toysinmykitchen.com

I am eating it! It's not bad!

It was sitting in a puddle of apple juice when it came out - is that normal? No soggy bottom though, surprisingly. I do think it needs sultanas though.

Thanks everyone! Now to convince DH to help me eat it (he doesn't do hot fruit Confused.
