12 medium-size apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
 2 cups sugar
 2 tsp. cinnamon
 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
 2 tsp. lemon juice
 Pastry for 2 double crust 9" pies
 4 Tbs. butter
 Glaze:
 3 Tbs. lemon juice
 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
 Combine first 6 ingredients, mixing well.  Set aside.  Roll out
 half the pastry, to fit an 11x15-inch rimmed baking sheet.  Place
 pastry on sheet and cover with apple filling to within 1/2" of
 edge.  Dot with butter.  Roll out remaining pastry and place over
 apples.  Turn edges of bottom pastry over top and flute or pinch
 edges to seal; prick top with fork or knife in several places.
 Bake in 350 degree F. oven for 1 hour, or until apples are fork
 tender and crust is golden brown.
 Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the 3 Tbs. lemon juice with powdered
 sugar.  Spread icing over hot pastry; sprinkle with the 1/2 cup of
 walnuts, which have been finely chopped.  Let cool; cut into 24
 bars.
