The Best Apple Squares Ever!

• FOR THE CRUST:
• 5 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Shortening
• 4 whole Eggs, Separated
• 1 cup Milk
• _____
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 2 cups Crushed Corn Flakes
• 6 whole Granny Smith Apples
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• _____
• FOR THE ICING:
• 1-1/4 cup Confectioners Sugar, Sifted
• 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 3 Tablespoons Water

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F.
2. 2. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and cut in the shortening. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and milk. Reserve the egg whites for later. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixure. Mix the dough until combined, form into a ball, and cut in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for an hour or so.
3. 3. In the meantime, crush your cornflakes into very fine pieces. Once it's chilled, roll out one of the pieces of dough and place it on a 15 x10 sheet pan. Sprinkle all of the corn flake crumbs over the dough evenly.
4. 4. Peel and slice the apples. Toss them with the sugar and cinnamon. Place the apples in a flat layer on top of cornflake crumbs.
5. 5. Roll out the remaining piece of dough, place on top of the apples layer, cut some slits to let the steam escape and seal the edges (tuck the top crust under the bottom if you need to). Beat the egg whites until foamy and brush all over the top of the crust.
6. 6. Bake at 350F for 1 hour, until the crust is golden. Cool slightly.
7. 7. Combine the icing ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle the icing evenly over the crust. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
