Apple Pie Squares

​I have this bad habit of consistently overestimating the number of apples that my family can consume before they go bad.  I get sucked into those beautiful grocery store apple displays - I get overzealous and I buy way more than I need.  Since the sight of wrinkled apples makes me crazy, I usually find some way to use them up quickly.  This week I made some apple squares from a recipe that I found on the Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms website.

Apple Squares
Dough
5 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shortening 
1 cup milk
4 eggs, separated
2 cups crushed cornflakes

Filling
6 Granny Smith apples
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
​Combine flour and salt in cuisinart.  Cut in shortening.
​Beat together egg yolks and milk.  Reserve egg whites.

​Add egg mixture to four.  Mix the dough until it forms a ball.  Cut dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
​Crush cornflakes.  Roll dough and place in a 15x10 pan.

​Roll out remaining dough and place on top of apples.  Cut slits in top to let steam out.
​Beat egg whites until foamy and brush over top of crust.

​Bake 1 hour at 350.

​The original recipe had a simple powdered sugar icing drizzled on top.  To be perfectly honest after smelling the irresistible aroma of freshly baked apples for an hour, there was no way we were going to wait for them to cool and get iced before eating them.  I cut them into squares and the sampling began.

​The verdict? - yummmmmm!   These little apple squares were so good it was hard not to eat more than one.

No time to make a pie?  No problem - make apple squares instead.  They're quicker and easier to transport and serve than apple pie but they taste just as delicious.

Ciao!
