    Note that this recipe makes 2 strudel rolls. Using 4 sheets of phyllo for each strudel, lightly brush each layer of phyllo with the melted margarine, stacking one layer on top of the next. Place half of the apple filling mixture on top of four prepared phyllo sheets and roll up, placing strudel seam side down. Repeat procedure with remaining 4 phyllo sheets, margarine and apple filling. Brush the top of each strudel roll with margarine. Score the top of each strudel into 6 equal sections. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
