                         Safflower oil -- to coat baking sheet
    4      cups          sliced peaches
      1/2  teaspoon      cinnamon
      1/2  teaspoon      nutmeg
      1/2  cup           maple syrup
    2      tablespoons   arrowroot powder
    6      large         filo dough sheets
      1/4  cup           melted butter
      1/2  cup           ground almonds
    2      tablespoons   date sugar
      1/2  cup           honey
    2      tablespoons   unsalted butter
    2                    egg yolks
    1      cup           nonfat milk
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
 
 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
 
 2. In a large saucepan mix together peaches, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, and
arrowroot. Cook over medium-high heat until peaches soften. Let cool.
 
 3. Place filo on a clean counter. Sprinkle each sheet with 2 teaspoons melted
butter, then spread butter to cover as much of filo sheet as possible (see
Preparing Filo, recipe included in this cookbook). Sprinkle equal amounts of
almonds and date sugar on top of buttered sheets, reserving 1 teaspoon each for
topping. Stack sheets evenly on top of each other in a pile.
 
 4. Place cooled peach mixture along one end of filo and roll filo around
peaches, forming a log. Place seam side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush
top of filo with any remaining melted butter and sprinkle with remaining
almonds and date sugar.
 
 5. Bake filo roll for 20 minutes or until crisp and brown. While it is baking,
in a small saucepan over medium heat combine honey, unsalted butter, egg yolks,
milk, and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Let cool
slightly and serve over slices of strudel.

 NOTES : In this recipe the filo sheets are lightly buttered, filled with fresh
peaches, and sprinkled with almonds. The vanilla sauce is a creamy mixture of
egg whites, nonfat milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Serve the strudel hot from
the oven. Its elegant appearance makes it a good choice for after-theater
parties.
