Apple strudel made with ready-made puff pastry
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Strudel is a very popular dish in Austrian, German, and French cuisines and has long become a favorite in our region as well. It's easy to prepare, and apples are usually used as the filling. For making apple strudel using ready-made puff pastry, I recommend using yeast-free ready dough. Add raisins to taste—they're, as they say, a matter of personal preference. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
