Ingredients

CRUST:

3/4 cup lard or vegetable shortening

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice (or iced vodka)

2 egg yolks

1/3 cup ice water

FILLING:

3 pounds tart apples, cored, peeled and sliced

1 cup water

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup cold water

POWDERED SUGAR FROSTING:

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk or more, as needed

Directions

Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in lard.

In a separate bowl, mix together the lemon juice, egg yolks and ice water.

Sprinkle over the flour mixture. Combine only until soft dough forms.

Pat into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Peel, core and slice apples into thick slices. Set aside.

Make a slurry with the cornstarch and cold water. Set aside.

Boil cup of water with sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

When boiling, add slurry. Cook for about five minutes stirring constantly.

Add the apples and cook about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

ASSEMBLY:

Preheat oven to 450°.

Divide dough into two pieces, one larger than the other.

Roll out the larger piece to fit the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 pan.

Pour filling into pan.

Roll out other piece of dough to fit on top.

Crimp pastry together. Cut decorative slashes in the dough to vent for steam.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Reduce heat to 350° and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool completely.

MAKE FROSTING:

Mix butter, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of milk together.

Add powdered sugar. Stir until combined and thickened.

If too thick, add additional milk about a teaspoon at a time.

If glaze gets too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Drizzle frosting on top of completely cooled Apple Slices.

I used to live in Elmhurst Il, and a bakery made these- I was looking for a recipe these look pretty close
