Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.

Tips:
- For a crispy strudel, use cold butter when making the dough.
- Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry, you can use store-bought puff pastry dough.
- Be careful not to overfill the strudel, or it will be difficult to seal and may burst during baking.
- Brush the strudel with egg wash before baking to give it a golden brown color.
- Serve the strudel warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of crème fraîche.
