APPLE DANISH

Category: Quick Breads

Pastry
3 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk

Filling
6 cups sliced peeled apples
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Glaze
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
2-3 tsp water

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine yolk and milk; add to flour mixture. Stir just until dough clings together. Divide dough in half.

On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough into a 15x10 inch rectangle; transfer to a greased jelly-roll pan. Set aside.

In a bowl, toss together filling ingredients; spoon over pastry in pan. Roll out remaining dough to another 15x10 inch rectangle. Place over filling. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Combine the confectioners sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm pastry. Cut into squares.
