In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in ¾ cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast in ½ cup of warm milk and add 1 beaten egg. Mix this into the flour mixture until smooth. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until it firms up.

After chilling, lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough into a large oval, approximately 12x18 inches. Spread 1 cup of apple pie filling down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch around the edges. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly, and shape into a loose oval or horseshoe. Carefully transfer to a lined baking sheet.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, let the shaped kringle rise for about 20 minutes. Brush the top with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk). Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the kringle from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the kringle.

Slice into generous pieces, showcasing the delightful apple filling. Best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite brew.
