Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Mix the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add breadcrumbs, cooking until golden brown.

Roll out the dough until thin and rectangular (note: original dough is preferred over puff pastry).

Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Layer the apple mixture on top of the breadcrumbs.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a log.

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 in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
