A friend gave me this recipe that makes good use of our bountiful apple harvest. It's very moist and makes a perfect addition to breakfast or brunch. Ingredients:
pastry: |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup shortening |
1 egg yolk |
1/2 cup milk |
filling: |
6 cups sliced peeled apples |
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
glaze: |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 to 3 teaspoons water |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg yolk and milk; add to flour mixture. Stir just until dough clings together. Divide dough in half.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle; transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, toss together filling ingredients; spoon over pastry in pan. Roll out remaining dough into another 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Place over filling. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
4. For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm pastry. Cut into squares. Serve warm or cold. Yield: 20-24 servings.
