Specialty Recipe

Danish Apple Bars

Ingredients Pastry:

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 egg, lightly beaten, with enough milk to make 2/3 cup

Filling:

6 tart apples, peeled and sliced - Granny Smith is the apple of choice

1 cup corn flakes, crushed with hands

1 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Nutmeg to taste, optional

Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until you have a course mixture. Stir in egg mixture until combined. Knead enough to bring dough together. Cut in half and chill while preparing apples. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out one half of dough to fit into the bottom of an oven broiler pan (grill removed) or other heavy baking sheet. Lay rolled dough into bottom of pan. Keeping about 1 inch from sides, sprinkle corn flakes on dough. Lay apples over crumbs and top with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, if using.

Roll out second half of dough and lay on top of apples. Roll edges together to make an envelope. Brush top with an egg wash and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes and top with powdered sugar glaze.
