Tastes Like Apple Pie Apple Squares! image

From my favourite church cookbook, where all the recipes are tried and true! **Like most of the reviews state, if you don't want to fight with the pastry to make it fit a cookie sheet - make 1.5x the dough recipe or use a smaller pan.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt

1 large egg yolk, slightly beaten, plus (save white)
milk, to make 2/3 cup liquid
5 -6 apples, pared and sliced
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Mix flour and salt and cut in shortening. Add egg and milk mixture and mix till it forms a ball. Divide dough in half. Roll first half in 17 x 12 inch rectangle. Place in cookie sheet and bring pastry up sides.
  • Cover pastry with apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (homemade chunky applesauce also works well).
  • Roll out second half of dough and place on top of apples. Moisten edges with milk and pinch together.
  • Beat egg white until stiff and brush on crust. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
  • Mix glaze ingredients together and brush on crust.
  • This square freezes beautifully.
