Apple kringle has a way of sneaking into your memory the same way the smell of coffee does in the morning. This flaky Wisconsin favorite starts with tender layers of pastry and carries the sweet tang of apples, making it hard to stop at one slice. I like to think of it as a hug disguised as dessert. What makes it even better is how approachable it is if you’ve got pie filling on hand. For folks like us who collect canned apple pie filling recipes or scribble down every apple pie filling recipe we stumble across, this one becomes a keeper. It uses simple steps, nothing that’ll make you break into a sweat, and still gives you results that could hold their own in a Wisconsin bakery window. I’ve tested enough apple pie filling recipes easy to know the difference between ‘fine’ and ‘you need to try this.’ This kringle lands firmly in the second camp. Whether you love experimenting with a canning apple pie filling recipe or you just grabbed a jar at the store, you’ll find that green apple pie recipe flavors shine in this pastry. The recipe for apple pie filling isn’t new, but when it’s folded inside this buttery crust, the story changes. It’s rich, flaky, and yes, dangerously snackable.
