Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg yolk
Milk
1 cup cornflakes
8 cup peeled and sliced tart cooking apples (8 medium)
0.75 - 1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 cup powdered sugar
3 - 4 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. For pastry, in a large bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a glass measuring cup beat egg yolk lightly with a fork. Stir in enough milk to measure 2/3 cup total liquid. Add egg yolk mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir lightly with fork until combined (pastry will be slightly sticky). Divide pastry in half.
  • On a well-floured surface, roll half of the pastry into a 17x12-inch rectangle. Fold pastry crosswise into thirds. Transfer to a 15x10x1-inch baking pan and unfold pastry, pressing to fit into the bottom and sides of the pan. Sprinkle with cornflakes; top with apple slices. In a small bowl stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Roll the remaining pastry into a 15x10-inch rectangle. Fold pastry crosswise into thirds. Place on top of apples and unfold pastry. Crimp edges or seal with the tines of a fork. Cut slits in top pastry; brush surface with beaten egg white.
  • Bake about 50 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is light brown, covering loosely with foil for the last 25 minutes of baking.
  • For icing, in a small bowl combine powdered sugar and 3 to 4 teaspoons milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle warm uncut bars with icing. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 egg yolk
⅔ cup cold water
1 cup cornflakes cereal
10 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
¾ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a cup, beat egg yolk, stir the cold water into the yolk. Gradually stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until dough can be packed into a ball. On a clean dry surface, roll out 1/2 of the dough large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch pan. Lay the dough in the pan.
  • Place the cornflakes over the dough in the pan. Arrange apple slices over the top of the corn flake layer. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Roll out the second half of the dough to cover the entire pan. Lay over the filling and pinch the edges of the two crusts together. Beat the egg white until foamy, and brush onto the top crust.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Drizzle with glaze while still warm.
  • To make the glaze: In a small bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar with the milk and almond extract until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to grate and will help keep the pastry flaky.
  • Work quickly: The dough should be worked as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you get clean cuts when slicing the apples.
  • Brush the pastry with egg wash: Egg wash will help the pastry brown and give it a shiny finish.
  • Sprinkle the pastry with cinnamon sugar: Cinnamon sugar will add a delicious flavor to the pastry.

Conclusion:

Danish pastry apple bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a flaky pastry dough that is filled with apples, cinnamon, and sugar. The bars are then baked until golden brown and served warm or cold. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
