Coconut oil offers a dairy-free option with a unique flavor.

Mix 4 cups of sifted flour with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

Add 1 large beaten egg, 12 ounces of lukewarm water, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of oil to the flour mixture.

Mix the dough for about 10 minutes, adding flour one tablespoon at a time until the perfect consistency is reached.

Allow the dough to rest in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of canola oil, covered with plastic wrap, for approximately 2 hours.

Peel and grate 8 to 10 apples, squeezing out excess juice.

Melt 1/3 cup of butter and mix with 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs until golden brown, then set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine the zest and juice of 1 lemon with 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar.

After resting, split the dough into two equal parts and roll out slightly.

Stretch the dough on a floured tablecloth until it's very thin and transparent.

Trim the edges of the stretched dough and spread the breadcrumb mixture over it.

Add the oil and butter mixture on top of the breadcrumbs.

Add the apple mixture (without the apples) to the dough, leaving a 10-inch edge.

Roll the dough tightly using the tablecloth, sealing the edges.

Place the strudel on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F for another 15 minutes.
