Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup shortening
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 9 apple - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Stir 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl until well blended. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and egg yolks together in a small bowl until well mixed; stir into flour mixture until dough comes together.

Step 3

Divide dough in half. Roll out 1 dough piece on a lightly floured surface to the size of the prepared baking dish. Press dough into the dish to form bottom crust; brush the top lightly with beaten egg whites. Fill with sliced apples and sprinkle with 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll out remaining dough piece and place over apples. Brush the top lightly with beaten egg whites.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

Step 5

Beat confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bars, then cut into 20 squares.
