Pastry Apple Bars Recipe

• 10 Apples (peeled, cored and sliced)
• 2-1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Butter
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 2/3 cup Cold Water
• 1 cup Cornflakes Cereal
• 3/4 cup White Sugar
• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Confectioners' Sugar

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
• Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a cup, beat egg yolk, stir the cold water into the yolk.
• Gradually stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until dough can be packed into a ball.
• On a clean dry surface, roll out 1/2 of the dough large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Lay the dough in the pan and place the cornflakes over the dough in the pan.
• Arrange apple slices over the top of the corn flake layer.
• Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the apples.
• Roll out the second half of the dough to cover the entire pan.
• Lay over the filling and pinch the edges of the two crusts together.
• Beat the egg white until foamy, and brush onto the top crust.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
