Notes

The source does not provide quantities for the ingredients or specify how many apples the recipe makes. It also does not state the quantity of puff pastry beyond one sheet. The transcript describes adding the chocolate-whipped-cream mixture to the apples before wrapping, while the apple-pulp mixture is added afterward.
