- Add the apples to the fruit and nut mixture, tossing well to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
- TO WORK WITH THE DOUGH: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare the workspace by placing a dishtowel vertically on the kitchen counter to your right.
- Open the package of filo and unroll the dough.
- Place it on the dishtowel, and cover it with another dishtowel to prevent it from drying.

- Leave about 1 1/2-inches (3.5 cm) on either end to tuck inches Lift up the edge of the filo dough and lay it over the filling.
- Tuck in both sides.
- Then roll up the strudel like a plump sushi, and place the roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Brush the top with canola oil.
- Repeat the process with two more rolls, placing them next to the first roll on the baking sheet.
- Combine organic sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of each roll.
