Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine warm milk with active dry yeast and allow to sit for about 5 minutes or until foamy. Stir this yeast mixture along with an egg into the flour mixture until a dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Once your dough is chilled, lightly flour your countertop and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x18 inches. Place your apple pie filling down the center, leaving about 2 inches of space on each side. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal securely.
- Place the shaped kringle on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the kringle rests. Brush the top of the dough lightly with an egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake the Wisconsin Apple Kringle in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let the kringle cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the sweet glaze generously over the top, allowing it to cascade over the sides.
- Slice into generous pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
Using cold butter ensures flaky layers. Seal dough edges properly to prevent leaks during baking.
