Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg yolk
½ cup milk
1 cup cornflakes cereal
8 cups tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg white
⅓ cup sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour and the salt. Cut in shortening till the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Lightly beat egg yolk in a glass measuring cup. Add milk to make 2/3 cup liquid total; mix well. Divide dough in half.
  • On a floured surface, roll half the dough to an 18 x 12 inch rectangle; fit into and up sides of a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan.
  • Sprinkle with corn flake cereal; top with apples. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples.
  • Roll remaining dough to a 16 x 12 inch rectangle; place over apples. Seal edges; cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

I followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out perfect. I think the key is to use cold butter and to not overmix the dough.

These bars were a disappointment. The pastry was tough and the apples were bland.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overbaked them.

I'm not a big fan of apples, but I loved these bars. The pastry is so flaky and the apples are perfectly sweetened.

The recipe was easy to follow and the bars turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the apple filling.
