Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl combine flour, salt & baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. In small bowl, whisk egg yolks, lemon juice & water; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork. Divide in half and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out one portion of dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Transfer to an ungreased 15x10x1 pan. Press pastry onto bottom and up sides; trim pastry even with top edge.

In a bowl, toss the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon & nutmeg; spread over crust. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pan. Place over filling. Trim edges; brush edges with water or milk and pinch to seal. Cut slits in top. Bake @ 375 for 45-50 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack. Drizzle glaze over bars.
