Ingredients Crust:

5 c all purpose flour
4 tsp sugar
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄2 tsp baking powder 11⁄2 c Crisco shortening 2 lg egg yolks

1 Tbs vinegar + cold water to make 3⁄4 c

Filling:

11⁄2 c Cornflakes
10 med/large crisp apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin 4 Tbs lemon juice
3⁄4 c packed brown sugar
3⁄4 c sugar
11⁄2 tsp cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp nutmeg
1⁄2 tsp salt

Topping:

1 Tbs milk + 1 reserved egg white raw sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Combine flour, sugar, slat and baking powder in large bowl. Cut in Crisco until mixture resembles a coarse

   crumb. Mix together the egg yolks, vinegar and cold water. Sprinkle by Tbs over flour mixture, tossing lightly with

   fork to blend until mixture forms a sticky ball.

3. Cover and chill in fridge while making filling.

4. For filling, toss apple slices with the lemon juice. Mix together the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle

   over apples and toss to combine.

5. Remove dough from fridge and divide in half. On floured surface, roll one half to fit bottom of a 12"x17" baking

   sheet (or similar sized jellyroll pan). Gently fold dough into thirds and transfer to pan. Smooth and press dough

   into pan and up sides.

6. Spread cornflakes evenly over dough. Pour apple mixture evenly over cornflakes.

7. Roll out other half of dough the same as bottom crust and gently unfold over top apples, stretching slightly to fit.

   Press any cracks together slightly.

8. Trim top and bottom edges even with each other and use tines of fork to gently seal.

9. Mix together 1 Tbs milk and reserved egg white. Gently brush over top of pastry. Sprinkle generously with raw

   sugar.

10. Bake on center oven rack in preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until crust is golden and apples are bubbly.

    If the edges begin to darken you can lay strips of aluminum foil over them.
