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

Knead together flour, egg, oil, salt, and 4-5 tablespoons of warm water until it becomes an even dough.

Coat the dough with some oil and leave to stand, covered, at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Coat a large tea towel with flour and roll out the dough thinly on it.

Pull the dough apart over the backs of your hands until it is thin enough to see through.

Heat 40 g of butter and lightly brown the breadcrumbs in it.

Melt the remaining butter and brush some onto the pastry.

Sprinkle the browned breadcrumbs on the pastry, leaving a 3 cm-wide edge free.

Peel, quarter, and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces.

Mix the apple pieces with sugar, cinnamon, and rum raisins, then sprinkle them on the pastry.

Close the free side edges of the pastry over the filling and gently roll up the strudel using the kitchen towel.

Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper and coat with runny butter.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 200°C (or 170°C on fan setting) until golden brown, coating occasionally with butter.

Cut the strudel into slices about 5 cm wide and sprinkle with icing sugar.
