How to Make Apple Slices

  1. **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  2. **Cut in Margarine:** Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1/4 cup milk.
  4. **Add Wet to Dry:** Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. **Roll Out Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out half of the dough to fit a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
  6. **Prepare the Filling:** Sprinkle 1 cup crushed corn flakes evenly over the bottom crust.
  7. **Layer Apples:** Arrange 6-8 cups thinly sliced apples evenly over the corn flakes.
  8. **Make the Spice Mixture:** In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. **Sprinkle Topping:** Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over the apples.
  10. **Top Crust:** Roll out the remaining dough and carefully place it over the fruit filling.
  11. **Egg Wash:** Brush the top crust with 1 beaten egg white.
  12. **Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. **Make the Glaze (Optional):** While the apple slices are still warm, whisk together 1/4 cup apricot preserves and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Brush over the top crust.
