Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin pieces.

Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and raisins in a bowl.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add breadcrumbs until golden, about 3-4 minutes.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until thin and rectangular.

Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the pastry.

Arrange the apple mixture along one edge of the pastry.

Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the apples.

Roll the pastry tightly around the filling, sealing the edges.

Place the strudel seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and flaky.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
