Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (188g)
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup lukewarm water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
¾ cup salted butter, melted
⅔ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 pounds apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
⅔ cup golden raisins, plumped in hot water and drained
½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Add water, oil, and vinegar (or lemon juice). Mix until dough comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare filling: melt butter in a skillet, add breadcrumbs, and toast until golden brown. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, raisins, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss well.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough on a floured cloth or kitchen towel, then gently stretch until paper-thin.
- Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with toasted breadcrumbs.
- Spread apple mixture over breadcrumbs, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Using the cloth, roll the dough into a log, tucking in the ends, and transfer carefully to the baking sheet.
- Brush outside with melted butter.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, brushing occasionally with more butter, until golden brown.
- Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and slice to serve.
Notes
Resting the dough makes it easier to stretch very thin.
Breadcrumbs prevent sogginess by absorbing apple juices.
Best apples: Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Jonagold.
Serve warm with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or vanilla sauce.
Can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
