Andi'S Absolutely Awesome Austrian Apple Strudel

• Apple Strudel
• 750 grams Sweet apples (e.g. Elstar, that's about 5 apples)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon (heaped)
• 0-3 tablespoons maple syrup
• Optional: 1 tbsp of raisins
• Optional: 1 tsp of ground cardamom
• 60-120 grams store bought Strudel dough (for when you're in a hurry)
• 100 milliliters raw unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon Coconut oil
• Heavenly coconut vanilla sauce
• 800 milliliters full fat coconut milk
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 vanilla bean
• 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1-2 teaspoons starch (e.g. potato starch)

1. Wash and cut apples into small relatively thin chunks (ca. 1cm x 0.5 cm)
2. Add coconut oil, cut apples and all other ingredients to a medium to big sized pot. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat and then 2 minutes on high. Stirring occassionally to make sure nothing burns. Add a lid halfway through cooking time and remove for the last 2 minutes.
3. Pre-heat oven to 190u0b0 C (Fan)
4. Lay a clean tea towel on a lined oven tray and spread the strudel dough onto the tea towel (it should be rectangular). Put the filling on about 1/3 of the rectangle. Then roll up to form a strudel.
5. Heat coconut oil and almond milk. Use a brush to brush the strudel top with the mixture.
6. Put in the middle rack of the oven until golden brown on top (20-25 minutes).
7. Serve with the coconut vanilla sauce or ice cream.
8. Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and deseed it. Put all ingredients, except the starch, into a large enough pot.
9. Use a sieve to add the starch. Whisk continuously after the starch has been added.
10. Cook on medium to high heat and bring to a boil and turn down heat immediately so that it simmers. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. If it becomes too thick you can add more coconut milk or a little water.
