Ingredients

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup water

5 cups thinly sliced peeled apples

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon lemon juice

PASTRY:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup cold shortening

2 egg yolks, beaten

1/4 cup cold water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

GLAZE:

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

For filling, combine sugar, cornstarch and water in a saucepan.

Mix until well blended.

Add apples; heat to boiling, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from the heat.

Stir in spices and lemon juices; set aside.

For pastry, combine flour and salt.

Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly.

Combine egg yolks, water and lemon juice; blend into flour.

Mixture will form a ball.

Divided in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough between two pieces of waxed paper to fit the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.

Spread filling over pastry.

Roll remaining pastry to fit pan exactly; place on top of filling.

Fold bottom pastry over top and press to seal.

Cut a few small slits in top crust.

Bake at 400° for about 40 minutes or until lightly browned.

For glaze, combine all ingredients and drizzle over the warm pastry.
