Prep Time: 1 hour | Bake: 45 mins + cooling | Yield: 2 dozen

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 cup cold butter

1 egg, separated

3-4 tbsp milk

1 cup crushed cornflakes

9 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 10 medium)

1 cup plus 1 tbsp sugar, divided

2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Glaze

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1-2 tbsp milk

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a measuring cup, combine egg yolk and enough milk to measure 1/3 cup. Gradually add to the flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
  2. Divide dough in half. Roll one portion into a thin 15×10″ rectangle. Transfer to the bottom of an un-greased 15x10x1″ baking pan. Sprinkle with cornflakes. In a large bowl, combine the apples, 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and nutmeg; toss to coat. Spoon over crust.
  3. Roll remaining dough into a thin 15×10″ rectangle; place over apple filling. Beat egg white; brush over pastry. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top. Bake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. For glaze, combine the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm pastry. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
