Step-by-Step Instructions for Wisconsin Apple Kringle
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in the milk and beaten egg until a dough forms. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing the sliced apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in a separate bowl. Toss until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.
- After chilling, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon the apple filling in the center, fold the dough over to create a horseshoe shape, and press the edges to seal.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the shaped kringle to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with the egg wash for a golden finish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the kringle to cool for about 10 minutes. Whisk together the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, adding milk for desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the kringle.
