Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm milk and add to the flour mixture along with the egg. Stir until just combined, then knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Wrap the kneaded dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the chilled dough into an oval shape about ¼ inch thick. Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough.
  5. Gently fold the dough over the filling to create a loose oval shape, pinching the ends together to seal.
  6. Transfer the shaped kringle to a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  7. Let the kringle cool for 10 minutes, then prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with vanilla extract and water. Drizzle over the top.
