Filling:

Topping/Glaze:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 6 to 8 apples (green apples or Gala) ½ cup of sugar
½ teaspoon salt 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1 large egg, divided 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup powdered sugar
Milk ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Milk
1 cup unsalted butter 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon vanilla
Granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions:
Crust:
1. Combine flour, butter and salt with a pastry blender or fork. Remove all of the large chunks of butter.
2. Separate egg yolk from egg white placing the egg yolk into a glass measuring cup. Set egg white aside.
3. Fill the measuring cup with the yolk with milk up to 2/3 cup.
4. Pour the egg/milk mixture into the flour mixture.
5. Mix the dough well. It will be sticky.
6. Divide dough in half. Set half of the dough aside.
7. Lightly flour a surface for rolling out the dough.
8. Flour the rolling pin.
9. Cut out a piece of parchment paper to fit in an 9X13” baking sheet/jelly roll pan.
10. Flour the parchment paper VERY lightly.
11. Roll the dough out to be about 9X13.
12. Place the dough sheet on top of the parchment paper, in the baking sheet/jelly roll pan.
Filling, top crust and glaze:
1. Peel, core and slice apples. The slices should be very thin, no more than ¼” thick.
2. Arrange the slices over the dough. It will seem as though there are too many apples. They will cook down. It will be about 1/2"-3/4” thick.
3. Combine sugar, salt, cinnamon and flour, mixing well.
4. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apple layer.
5. Roll out the top crust and place over the apple layer. Pinch and seal the edges.
6. Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.
7. Spread the egg white over the top crust.
8. Mix ½ cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
9. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture onto the top crust.
10. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Reduce to 400 and bake about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Take out of oven and let cool.
12. For the glaze, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla and just enough milk to make it the consistency of a glaze.
13. Drizzle glaze over the crust and cut into bars. Yields 20-24 bars.
