You'll need to make struedel dough or buy filo. I worked with 4 bakers over the yrs who had different methods. Polish, German, French and hungarian. The French did it with puff dough same as the German. Polish and Hungarian chefs used both commercial and our own filo dough. The best version in my opinion was the filo. Lay a sheet down. sprinkle with melted butter and sugar and add another layer, continue for 5-6 layers.Keep a damp cloth over the opened package of filo or it will dry out and fall apart as you work. Peel,core and rate the apples, shred them on a cheese grater, squees the excess juice out by twisting in a clean towel. Add a bit of melted butter and sugar, walnuts if you want (I prefer none). Form the apples along the edge of the dough and roll it up. Seam should go underneath. 350F til golden brown.
