Apple Bars

• 2 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup shortening
• 1 egg, separated
• milk

FILLING:

• 5 cups thinly sliced apples
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
• 2/3 cup corn flake crumbs

GLAZE:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Water to thin
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
Combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening. Put egg yolk in a measuring cup and add milk to make 2/3 cup. (Set aside egg white for later.) Add this to the shortening mix and shape into a ball. Divide dough in half and roll out half of the dough. Put in an ungreased jelly roll pan. Top with filling.
Roll out other half of dough and put on top of filling. Pinch all edges together. Beat egg white slightly and brush it on the top crust. Bake at 350 until you are sure the apples are done (35 minutes?) and crust is golden. Glaze while hot.
For glaze, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and water well and drizzle over bars as soon as they come from oven. With the back of a spoon, lightly spread the glaze to coat evenly.
