I belong to several volunteer groups, and this dessert has been a real time-saver when there's a large crowd to be fed. It serves more than an ordinary pie with about the same amount of effort.
Bertha Jeffries, Great Falls, Montana
3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup shortening
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
8 cups sliced peeled tart apples
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 egg white, beaten
In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add eggs and milk; mix to form dough. Chill for 20 minutes. Divide dough in half; roll one half to fit the bottom and sides of a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Arrange apples over crust. Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornflakes; sprinkle over apples. Roll remaining dough to fit top of pan and place over apples. Seal edges; cut slits in top. Brush with egg white. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
