Ingredients
Scale
- All-purpose flour 3 cups
- Unsalted butter 1 cup (cold, cubed)
- Cream cheese 8 ounces (softened)
- Granulated sugar 1/2 cup
- Baking powder 1 teaspoon
- Salt 1/2 teaspoon
- Apple pie filling 21 ounces
- Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter and cream cheese using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 2: Gradually add sugar and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into an oval shape. Spread half of the apple pie filling over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Step 4: Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then fold the other side over, creating a layered effect. Pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Step 5: Place the kringles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely before glazing with vanilla glaze.
Notes
- For best flavor, store your cooled Kringle in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- A quick zap in the microwave (15-20 seconds) will gently warm a slice and soften the glaze.
- Serve slices of Apple Kringle with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- To prevent a soggy Kringle, be sure to drain excess liquid from the apple pie filling before spreading it on the dough.
