Description
Indulge in the buttery, flaky perfection of Wisconsin’s famous Apple Kringle. This 20-minute recipe delivers a heavenly blend of sweet apples, warm cinnamon, and a delicate crust that will have you craving more.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup ice water
– 4 cups thinly sliced Granny Smith apples
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. – In a food processor, pulse the flour, butter, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. – Gradually add the ice water and process until the dough just begins to come together.
3. – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. – In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar and cinnamon.
5. – Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
6. – Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling, then fold the short sides over to create a rectangular package.
7. – Place the kringle seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. – In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water. Brush the kringle with the egg wash.
9. – Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. – Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a flakier crust, you can freeze the dough for 15 minutes before rolling it out. Serve the kringle warm or at room temperature.
