Rhubarb Strudel is a classic dessert that is popular in Europe and throughout the world. This recipe uses fresh rhubarb, nuts, raisins, and warm spices to create a sweet and tangy filling that is wrapped in phyllo pastry and baked until golden brown. The result is a crispy and flaky crust that encases a deliciously sweet and tart filling. This dessert is perfect for spring and summer, and is a great way to use up any excess rhubarb that may be sitting in your refrigerator. Rhubarb is a vegetable that is often used in desserts, but it is also a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.

4.Sprinkle crushed gingersnap cookie mixture over the phyllo pastry and top with rhubarb mixture.
5.Roll up tightly, tuck in the ends, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
6.Brush with remaining melted butter and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
