Why make a whole apple pie if you don't have to?
APPLE PIE SLICES
Crust:
2 cups flour
¾ cup shortening
1 tsp salt
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
½ cup milk
Filling:
5 cups sliced, peeled apples (6-7 good sized apples)
1 cup sugar (more if apples are tart); can use ¾ cup sugar and ¼ cup vanilla sugar
2 TB flour
½ tsp cinnamon
1 TB butter
1 egg white, lightly beaten
Icing:
1 TB butter, melted
¾ powdered sugar
¼ tsp vanilla
2-3 tsp milk
Preheat oven to 375⁰.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, shortening, and salt. Mix with hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk and milk. Add to the dough and mix. Divide the dough in two pieces, and wrap one piece in plastic and refrigerate.
Pat or roll the other piece of dough into an ungreased 9"x13" baking dish.
Place the peeled and sliced apples on top of the crust.
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Dot with butter.
Gently roll out the remaining crust on a lightly floured surface, large enough to fit the pan. Place over the apples, and brush with the beaten egg white. Bake at 375⁰ for 45 minutes. Cool and frost with icing, or just sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
To make the icing, combine the butter, sugar, and vanilla and mix, adding enough milk to make it the consistency you want.
