Dust a clean tablecloth with flour to prevent sticking.

Stretch the dough with hands to make it thinner, similar to pizza dough.

Prepare the filling by mixing sliced Golden Delicious apples, raisins, cinnamon, and a little white sugar in a bowl.

Pile the apple filling in a line at the top of the rolled-out dough.

Use the tablecloth to help roll the dough over the filling tightly.

Tuck in the sides of the rolled strudel.

Place the strudel on a parchment-lined baking sheet with melted butter underneath.

Brush the top of the strudel with melted butter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40 minutes to an hour until browned.

Coat the baked strudel with more melted butter before serving.

Serve with whipped cream.
