How To Make apple pie bars
-
Step 1Beat yolk in bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk; mix well. Set aside.
-
Step 2Combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolk mixture with fork until dough forms a ball. Divide dough in half.
-
Step 3Roll out half of dough on lightly floured surface into a 15 X 10 inch rectangle; place onto bottom of ungreased 15 X 10 inch baking pan. Sprinkle with corn flakes; top with apples.
-
Step 4Combine 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg in bowl. Sprinkle over apples. Roll remaining half of dough into 15 1/2 X 10 1/2inch rectangle; place over apples.
-
Step 5Beat reserved egg white with fork until foamy; brush over top crust. Combine remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tbsp. sugar in bowl; sprinkle over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until lightly browned.
-
Step 6Combine powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired glazing consistency in bowl. Drizzle over warm bars.
-
Step 7If pastry dough does not form a ball easily, add up to 1 tbsp. additional milk, 1 tsp. at a time.
-
Step 8To transfer pastry to baking pan, fold pastry in half; fold in half again. Place folded corner at center of pan. Unfold pastry carefully.
-
Step 9Top pastry should be rolled on lightly floured surface slightly larger than bottom pastry to allow pastry to cover filling easily.
