In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in warm water (110°F/43°C) until a dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for the best texture.

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick, ensuring the edges are even for consistent baking.

Spread the spiced apple filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a loose oval or horseshoe shape. Pinch the seams tightly to seal.

Place the shaped kringle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough space for expansion during baking.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the shaped Wisconsin Apple Kringle rests for about 15 minutes. Once preheated, bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.

While the kringle cools slightly, mix confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the kringle after it has cooled for about 10 minutes.

Slice into generous portions and serve warm, ideally paired with a favorite hot beverage.
