How to Make Apple Pie Bars
- **Make the Crust:** In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together 2/3 cup milk and 1 large egg yolk.
- Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup shortening to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to fit a greased and floured 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
- **Prepare the Filling:** Arrange thinly sliced apples (about 6-8 medium apples) evenly over the rolled-out dough in the pan.
- Sprinkle 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the apples.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place it over the apples. Seal the edges.
- Use a knife to cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg white until frothy. Brush the egg white over the top crust.
- **Bake:** Bake for 45-60 minutes in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- **Make the Glaze:** While the bars are baking, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, a dash of salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- **Finish:** Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
