Yield: 12-16 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, separated
1 cup crushed cornflakes
6 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Additional sugar, optional
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 teaspoons hot water

Directions

In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine milk and egg yolk; mix well. Gradually add to dry ingredients until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of pastry to fit an ungreased 13-in. pizza pan. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Top with apples. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over apples; cut slits in top. Seal pastry and flute edges if desired. Brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden.
For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough water to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over pizza. Yield: 12-16 servings.
