Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 375º. In large bowl, combine flour, salt. Using pastry blender, cut in shortening until resembles coarse crumbs. In a liquid measuring cup, beat egg yolk slightly. Add enough milk to make 2/3 cup liquid. Stir well to combine. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture with a fork until combined (will be slightly sticky). Divide mixture in half.
2. On well floured surface, roll half the dough to a 17x12 inch rectangle. Fold dough into thirds. Transfer to a 15x10x1 inch baking pan and unfold dough, pressing to fit into bottom and sides. Sprinkle with cornflakes (I crushed them a bit). Top evenly with apples. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Roll remaining dough to a 15x10 inch rectangle. Fold in thirds, place on top of apples and unfold. Crimp edges or use tines of a fork to seal. Cut slits in top. Brush top with beaten egg white.
3. Bake about 50 minutes or until golden and apples tender, covering with foil after the first 25 minutes of baking time to prevent over browning.
4. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and 2 to 3 tsp. milk to make drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm bars. Let cool completely on wire rack. Cut into bars.
