With two kinds of fruit, these bars from our Test Kitchen have mass appeal. The lovely lattice top makes it special for get-togethers. *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup shortening
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons liquid egg substitute
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 9 tablespoons cold water
•
• FILLING:
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash ground nutmeg
• 4 cups finely chopped peeled apples
• 3 cups finely chopped peeled ripe pears
•
• 1 egg white, beaten

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks, egg substitute, lemon juice and water; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Divide in half, making one portion slightly larger. Chill for 30 minutes.

2. Roll out larger portion of dough between two large sheets of waxed paper into a 17-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Press pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of pan; trim pastry even with top edges.

3. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples and pears; toss to coat. Spoon over crust.

4. Roll out remaining pastry; make a lattice crust. Trim and seal edges. Brush lattice top with egg white.

5. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
