List of Ingredients
CRUST
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup shortening (I used butter flavored Crisco)
4 egg yolks
2 Tbls. lemon juice
½ cup ice water
FILLING
7 cups finely chopped apples
2 tsp. cinnamon (I probably used a little over)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 Tbls. all-purpose flour
ICING/GLAZE
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 Tbls. milk
1 Tbls. lemon juice
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375. Chop apples in food processor or by hand. Add remaining filling
ingredients and set aside.
For crust, mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut in shortening as for piecrust.
Add slightly beaten egg yolks, lemon juice and water to form dough. Handle just enough
to incorporate all ingredients well. Divide dough in half. Roll one half to fit a 10x15"
jellyroll pan, making sure dough goes up the sides to the top edge of pan to hold filling.
Trim excess dough. Spread with apple filling. Roll out second half of dough to fit over
top. Trim excess dough. Prick top crust at intervals to vent steam.
Bake for 50-60 min. until nicely browned. Cool on rack and ice while still slightly warm -
icing will shine.
*I dot the top of the filling with butter (a couple tablespoons)
*I also learned the hard way when rolling out the crust chill for awhile first and then roll out one half of the 10x15 pan and then the other half. Do not attempt to roll out the entire 10x15 crust you`ll only frustrate yourself!!
* I use two kinds of apples (Macintosh & Granny smith)
* I took a sandwich bag and placed the frosting in there and then cut a small hole in the corner and drizzled it over the crust when baked.
