This is not puff pastry wrapped around apple filling. Traditional strudel begins with a soft homemade dough, kneaded until elastic and stretched by hand until it is almost transparent.

The complete chef-led recipe includes:

🍏 The best apples to use
🥣 How to make and rest the dough
🙌 How to stretch it without tearing
🔥 Tips for a crisp pastry and tender filling
🖨️ A printable, adjustable recipe card

Simple. Classic. Done properly.
