1 teaspoon salt
03 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
04 -
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
05 -
1/4 cup cold water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

11 -
1 cup powdered sugar
12 -
2 tablespoons milk
13 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Cut in unsalted butter until mixture is crumbly. Add cold water and mix gently until dough forms. Wrap dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
02 -
In a separate bowl, mix diced apples, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
03 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rectangle. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
04 -
Arrange the apple filling along the center of the dough. Cut 1-inch diagonal slits on both sides of the dough. Fold strips over filling alternately to create a braided pattern and seal both ends.
05 -
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
06 -
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled pastry.
07 -
Allow glaze to set before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
# Supplementary Details:
01 -
Chilling the dough improves flakiness and is essential for handling during braiding.
02 -
Ensure the Kringle is cooled before glazing to prevent the icing from melting.
