Apple Strudel Cake

Preheat oven to 350F.  

Place raisins in a small cup halfway filled with room temperature water. Allow to soak for 30 minutes.  

Peel the apples and dice into .5" cubes.

Place in large mixing bowl, and pour juice squeezed from 1/2 lemon (with seeds  removed) on top of apples to prevent browning.

Add sugar cinnamon, drained raisins and pine nuts to the apples and mix  well. 

On top of a sheet of wax paper, place very thin sheet of dough (it should be approximately .25" thick) shaped into a  rectangular form.

Place wax paper and dough directly onto rectangular (jelly roll) baking sheet. In the middle of the dough,  place the apple mixture.

Spread mix out well, from side to side.

Wrap up dough, moving from top to bottom. (Roll up like a  jelly roll cake).  

Melt butter in microwave or over stove in small pan. Using a pastry brush, brush butter onto the top of the rolled dough. 

Make several vertical cuts onto the top of the dough, and place in preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown  on top and fragrant.  

Once removed from oven, allow to cool. Cut into slanted slices and dust with powdered sugar (you can use a tea strainer to  dust on top of dough).
