Serves 8

1 cup peeled, chopped apples

2 tablespoons grape juice

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for topping

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/3 cup chopped almonds, toasted

12 slices Wonder Bread, crusts removed

3 to 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Combine apples and grape juice; set aside and allow to stand for about 5 minutes.

• Combine brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, the nutmeg and the almonds.

• Put 2 slices of bread side by side. Roll together until bread is quite thin and the pieces stick together to form a sheet.

• Repeat with the remaining bread, making a total of 6 thin "sheets" of bread.

• Carefully transfer one sheet to a lightly greased 11-by-7- inch baking pan.

• Brush the top of the bread with melted butter.

• Sprinkle with about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the sugar-almond mixture.

• Top with another sheet of bread, brush with butter and sprinkle with more of the sugar-almond mixture.

• Top with a third sheet of bread, brush with butter and sprinkle with some of the sugar-almond mixture. Top with half the chopped apples.

• Repeat with 2 more sheets of bread, spreading each with butter and sprinkling with the sugar-almond mixture.

• Spoon the remaining apples on top.

• Finish strudel with last sheet of bread and brush the top of the strudel with cinnamon.

• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and the apples are tender.

• Allow to cool slightly and then slice into pieces.

• Garnish each piece with whipped cream, if desired.
