Whats the best apple strudel recipe???

I really want to try to make this myself...but I want the best recipe and an easy recipe....so please help thanks. And it has to be the best tasting one. LOLWhats the best apple strudel recipe???
2/3 cup milk, scalded


1/2 cup sugar


1 1/4 teaspoons salt


6 tablespoons butter, melted


2/3 cup water, lukewarm


2 tablespoons sugar


2 packages active dry yeast


3 eggs


6 cups flour





Filling:





9 apples, peeled and sliced


1 1/2 cups cream


1 1/2 cups sugar


butter


cinnamon





Scald milk in a saucepan. Add butter. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water; add sugar and set aside to proof, about 10 minutes.


When milk and butter mixture is between 100 and 110 degrees F. (warm to the touch), stir in the yeast mixture.





Using a whisk, beat the eggs well and stir in to combine.





Gradually add in 3 cups of flour, beating until smooth with electric mixer. Stir in remaining flour, or enough to make a soft dough (about 3 cups).





Place in a greased bowl, turning once to cover with oil.





Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1-2 hours.





Turn out onto lightly floured board and divide into three pieces.





Roll out each piece and stretch with hands to fit into a 11x11x3 inch pan. Press edges tightly against pan so that it doesn't spring back. If dough is too elastic, place on counter, cover with a bowl so that it doesn't dry out and allow to rest for 30 minutes. This will relax the gluten and the dough will become more manageable.





Peel and core apples and slice thinly. Arrange the apples lengthwise in rows across the strudel dough.





Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk. Remove wrap. Into each of the three pans, pour 1/2 cup cream.





Cover apples in each pan with a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon. Starting with the long end, roll up jell-roll style into a log. Form log into a horse-shoe or U-shape. Brush top with milk or cream and sprinkle with sugar.





Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven until lightly golden, about 35 minutes. Puncture bubbles.Whats the best apple strudel recipe???

My mother's apple strudel was the best...she's now in a nursing home so she can't make it anymore. Now it's up to my brother and me to make it - but she taught us well, much less she wanted the help with it!





Prepare your sliced apples like you would for apple pie filling including the flour (for thickening), sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace or whatever you like. We also add golden raisins and chopped walnuts.





Melt at least a stick of butter and then get the phyllo dough out of the freezer. Carefully separate the sheets of phyllo dough and baste the first one with butter, add the second sheet and more butter, then add sheets 3 %26amp; 4 (and possibly 5 depending upon qty in box) and butter between each sheet including the top one. Put your apple filling down the middle of the long horizontal. Carefully roll the phyllo leaves over the filling, then transfer to baking sheet. Bake in 425 F preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 20 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer strudel to cooling rack (so bottom doesn't get soggy). Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or cold.
