Apply templates is not working as expected

I am trying to implement one XSL logic using template. For all Test element, I need to add one parent tag "Result"

<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="xs" version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsl:template match="Test">
    <RESULT>
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </RESULT>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Input XML : 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Test>
<goal>
    Books
</goal>
<secret>
    <Test>
        Noodles
    </Test>        
</secret>
</Test>

Expected output : 

<Output>
<RESULT>
  <Test>
     <goal>Books</goal>
     <secret>
        <Test>Noodles</Test>
     </secret>
  </Test>
</RESULT>
<RESULT>
  <Test>Noodles</Test>
</RESULT>
</Output>

Actual Output : 

<Output>
<RESULT>
  <Test>
     <goal>Books</goal>
     <secret>
        <Test>Noodles</Test>
     </secret>
  </Test>
</RESULT>
Books
<RESULT>
  <Test>Noodles</Test>
</RESULT>
Noodles
</Output>

I am getting one extra text in the output. Any help?

You're getting the extra text output because of XSLT's built in rules.

You can override the built in rule for text by adding this template:

<xsl:template match="text()"/>

This will work fine if you're just using xsl:copy-of and/or xsl:value-of. If you're counting on the built in rules for text() output, you'll have to modify the override or change the select in your xsl:apply-templates (one option has already been given by Sivaa Nethaji).
