Apple Bars

Ingredients

two and half cups all-purpose flour
one teaspoon salt
one cup shortening
one egg yolk
half cup milk
ten apples - peeled
half cup light brown sugar
quarter cup white sugar
half teaspoon ground cinnamon
quarter teaspoon ground nutmeg
one egg white

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Slice in shortening till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg yolk in measuring cup and add enough milk to make two thirds cup total liquid. Mix into flour mixture till all flour is damp. Divide the dough in half. On floured surface, roll half the dough into a rectangle and fit into a 9x13 inch pan.

In large bowl, mix apples, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Put apple mixture in pan. Roll out remaining dough and put over apples. Seal edges and cut slits in top dough. Beat egg white till frothy and brush on crust.

Bake in the 375 degrees preheated oven for fifty minutes, or till golden brown.

Yummy!
