  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet of refrigerated puff pastry or homemade pastry dough
  • 3 large apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface.
  2. Arrange sliced apples in the center of the pastry sheet, leaving a border around the edges.
  3. Mix sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice; sprinkle over apples.
  4. Fold the edges of the pastry over the apples to create a rustic tart shape, pinching to seal.
  5. Brush the pastry crust with beaten egg.
  6. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. While baking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  8. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm kringle before serving.

Notes

  • Use tart or sweet apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for best flavor.
  • Ensure the pastry edges are sealed well to prevent spillage.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for optimal flavor.
