You need to convert it to node-set before usage.
XSLT2.0 supports by directly using it as node-set.
However in XSLT1.0, you need to explicitly convert it
to node-set like

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/common"
extension-element-prefixes="exslt">

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:variable name="myVar">
	<xsl:apply-templates />
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:for-each select="exslt:node-set($myVar)/*">
		........
	</xsl:for-each>
	.........
</xsl:template>
