Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 can Cherry pie filling
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
• 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disk into a large rectangle approximately 12x8 inches. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Spread the cherry pie filling evenly down the center of the pastry, leaving about 2 inches of space on each side.

Step 8

Roll out the second dough disk to the same dimensions as the first and carefully place it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork.

Step 9

Cut three to five small slits on top of the pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the kringle is golden brown.

Step 10

Allow the kringle to cool slightly on the pan.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until smooth to make the icing.

Step 12

Drizzle the icing over the cooled kringle and sprinkle with sliced almonds, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
