Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 egg yolk
- Milk
- 1 cup cornflakes
- 8 to 10 tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced (8 cups)
- 3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Milk
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a liquid measuring cup, beat the egg yolk lightly. Add enough milk to measure 2/3 cup liquid. Stir the milk and egg to combine well. Using a fork, stir the milk mixture into flour mixture until combined (dough will be slightly sticky). Divide this dough mixture into two equal portions.
2. On a well-floured surface, roll half of the dough to a 17x12-inch rectangle. Fold crosswise into thirds. Transfer to 15x10x1- inch baking pan and unfold dough, pressing to fit into bottom and up sides
of pan. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Evenly top with apples. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over apples. Roll remaining dough to a 15x1 a-inch rectangle; fold crosswise into thirds. Place atop apples and unfold dough. Crimp edges to seal. Cut slits in the top. Brush with beaten egg white.
3. Bake in a 375° oven for 50 minutes, or until golden and apples are tender, covering with foil after the first 25 minutes of baking time to prevent overbrowning.
4. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm bars. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
