Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to a rectangle measuring 10-inches by 12-inches. Sprinkle with half of the nut mixture and place half of the apples on top. Fold one of the long sides over the apples. Begin to roll up the strudel, tucking in the ends and pinching them as you go to seal the ends. Place the log on prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush the log with egg wash and make slits in the top with a sharp knife. Sprinkle top with Turbinado sugar. Repeat process with remaining sheet of puff pastry.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
