Crust:
 2 1/2 cup flour                 1 cup shortening
 1 tsp. salt                             1 egg, separated
 1 TB sugar                              milk
 Combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening. Put egg yolk in a
 measuring cup and add milk to make 2/3 cup. (Set aside egg white for
 later.) Add this to the shortening mix and shape into a ball. Divide
 dough in half and roll out half of the dough. Put in an ungreased jelly
 roll pan. Top with filling.
 Filling:
 5 cups thinly sliced apples             1 1/2 cup sugar
 1 TB cinnamon                           2/3 cup corn flake crumbs
 Roll out other half of dough and put on top of filling. Pinch all edges
 together. Beat egg white slightly and brush it on the top crust. Bake at
 350 until you are sure the apples are done (35 minutes?) and crust is
 golden. Glaze while hot.
 Glaze:
 1 cup powdered sugar                            Water to thin
 1 TB lemon juice
 Mix well and drizzle over bars as soon as they come from oven. With the
 back of a spoon, lightly spread the glaze to coat evenly.
