Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups cold butter or margarine
10 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 1/2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ cereal, crushed
8 cups sliced peeled tart cooking apples (8 medium)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

In medium bowl, mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and the salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with ice-cold water, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring with fork until dough just comes together. Divide dough in half. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours.
Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Roll out half of dough to 15x10-inch rectangle; place in pan. Sprinkle with cereal. In large bowl, mix apples, 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Arrange apples evenly over cereal.
To make lattice top, roll out remaining half of dough to 15x12-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 3/4-inchwide strips. Arrange strips diagonally in lattice design over filling. Trim and seal edges. Brush with beaten egg.
Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Cool completely in pan, about 2 hours. Cut into 5 rows by 3 rows. Store loosely covered.
