Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbl sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup cold butter
- 1 tbl yeast
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup apple pie filling
- For the Glaze:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly mix in the milk and egg until a soft dough forms. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
- Shape the Kringle: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough. Spread apple pie filling down the center. Fold the sides over to seal and shape into an oval or horseshoe. Ensure edges are well-sealed.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shaped kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Add Glaze: Allow the kringle to cool to room temperature. Mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and drizzle over the cooled kringle. Optionally, garnish with cinnamon.
Notes
- Use very cold butter for flaky texture.
- Avoid overfilling to prevent leakage.
- Seal edges well to keep filling inside.
- Consider an egg wash for a golden color.
- Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra warmth.
