This pressure cooker apple kringle offers a flaky, buttery crust wrapped around juicy cinnamon-spiced apples, finished with a sweet vanilla glaze—perfect for cozy evenings and sharing with loved ones.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the kringle from sticking.
In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mix looks like coarse crumbs.
Stir in sour cream until the dough comes together. Split the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss your apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl to make the filling.
Roll out one dough disc on a floured surface into a rectangle. Move it carefully to your lined baking sheet. Spread half the apple mixture down the center.
Fold the edges down over the filling and pinch them tight to seal. Repeat with second dough disc and remaining filling if making two.
Brush the outside with beaten egg. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
Let kringle cool slightly before preparing the glaze.
Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for glaze and drizzle over cooled kringle before serving.
Notes
Use cold butter and don’t overmix the dough for flakiest crust. Sour cream helps create tenderness. Choose tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
