Instructions
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a skillet over medium heat, add phyllo strips, tossing and stirring to reduce clumps, and cook until toasted, 2–3 minutes; transfer to a papertowel- lined plate.
Toast pecans in same pan until starting to brown. Sprinkle in brown sugar and flour, stirring until sugar begins to caramelize. Return phyllo to pan and stir in raisins; transfer to a plate to cool. (Strudel topping can be made a day ahead.)
Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir in apples and leeks and cook until leeks are tender, 5 minutes.
Add apple juice; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer soup until apples are fork tender.
Purée apple mixture with an immersion blender or a standard blender to desired texture. (Caution: Soup will be hot.) Transfer soup back to pan.
Stir in maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pie spice; simmer soup until flavors meld, 3–5 minutes. Sprinkle servings with strudel topping and 1 Tbsp. sour cream.
