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.
