These apple bars are perfect for a crowd!

CRUST:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg, separated
2/3 cup milk

FILLING:
5–6 apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

ICING:
1 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 tsp water

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Crust:
Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles small peas. Beat egg yolk with milk and add; mix. Form into a ball and refrigerate until cold. Divide dough in half. Roll one half between two pieces of waxed paper to fit a cookie sheet. (Per note, you can roll on a floured surface instead.)

Filling:
Spread apples on prepared dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon (I add 2 Tbsp instant flour). Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples. Roll remaining dough between waxed paper to a size to cover base; place over apples. Seal edges. Beat egg white with a fork and brush over the top crust. Make slits in the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven.

Icing:
Mix ingredients together and drizzle over apple bars while still warm.
