Project 206: apple strudel

I got this from Pinterest,  and could not resist making it, as it looked so easy.  I've adapted it here and there....

Mix together: 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 cup of butter, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  You can place 2/3 of your dough in the fridge now for it to get firm so that you can grate it later on....I could not wait, and broke the other third into small pieces and arranged it on top.

Press your remaining 2/3s in a baking tray.  I covered mine with baking paper(I hate to wash sticky pans!)

Mix together a 410g tin of cooking apples, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of flour and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and arrange it on top of your dough.  Pour your grated or broken pieces of dough on top and bake it @ 180*C for 25-30 minutes.

Allow to cool slightly whilst you mix together 2 cups of icing sugar, 4 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of almond essens.  Drizzle on top of your cake and allow to cool.  Serve with cream or ice cream.
