A flaky, buttery Apple Kringle filled with tender spiced apples and topped with a smooth vanilla glaze. This bakery-style pastry is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon treat with coffee.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

1/4 cup cold water

3 medium apples, peeled and diced

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  3. Add cold water and gently mix just until a dough forms. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Spoon the apple mixture down the center of the dough.
  8. Cut 1-inch diagonal slits along both sides of the dough and fold the strips over the filling in a braided pattern. Seal the ends.
  9. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Allow the kringle to cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the slightly cooled kringle and let it set before slicing.

Notes

Keep the butter cold and avoid overworking the dough for a flaky crust.

Firm apples work best to maintain texture during baking.

Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.

Freeze without glaze and add fresh glaze after thawing.

Warm slices in a 300°F oven to maintain flakiness.
