Easy Apple & Chocolate Chips Strudel

Apple Strudel is a traditional Viennese popular pastry which is quite known in many countries in Europe. Wiki says that Apple strudel dough is a thin, elastic dough, the traditional preparation of which is a difficult process. The dough is kneaded by flogging, often against a table top. Dough that appears thick or lumpy after flogging is generally discarded and a new batch is started. After kneading, the dough is rested, then rolled out on a wide surface and stretched until the dough reaches a thickness similar to phyllo. Cooks say that a single layer should be so thin that one can read a newspaper through it. The dough is also stretched carefully to make it large enough to cover the kneading table. Since the strudel dough calls for a difficult kneading and stretching process, i opted for an easy method. And the puff pastry sheet is a better one to replace the traditional Apple strudel dough.
