APPLE PIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• CRUST:.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
• Cut-in 1 cup vegetable shortening.
• Separate the eggs.
• Place egg yolks in a one cup measuring cup and add milk to the egg yolks until milk and egg yolks equal 2/3 cups.
• Blend the egg mixture into flour mixture until it reaches a dough consistency.
• Divide the dough in half.
• Roll out 1/2 of the dough to fit the bottom of the jelly roll pan. The crust will be very thin.
• FILLING:.
• Cover crust with crushed corn flakes.
• Cover corn flakes with prepared apple slices.
• In separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
• Sprinkle evenly over apple slices.
• Roll out the remaining dough and cover the apple mixture with it.
• The dough will be very thin.
• Beat remaining egg whites until they appear semi-stiff.
• Brush them onto the crust.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove from oven.
• GLAZE:.
• In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice for glaze.
• Blend until smooth.
• Adjust consistency (add lemon juice if too dry; add powdered sugar if too runny).
• Drizzle glaze over the top of the warm bars.
• Bars can be served warm or cold, and they freeze well, too.
