Most people have probably never heard of kringles, but they are a big thing in southeastern Wisconsin. Kringles are a type of filled pastry, the most famous of which come from Racine. My grandma made a version of kringles, and this one is based on her recipe. It's the only recipe I have that she hand-wrote on a recipe card for me, so it's near and dear to my heart. She would most commonly fill hers with a butter, brown sugar, and nut filling or an apricot-nut filling. You can also fill it with thinly sliced apple or any pie filling. The texture is best at room temperature, so try to resist the temptation to slice into it while it's warm. It's also best eaten the first day, but not bad the second.
