Reply to request for Apple Slices:
 CRUST:
 2 c. flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 2/3 c. shortening (my mother's original
 recipe calls for lard), 2 egg yolks, 1 Tbl. lemon juice, 1/4 c. water.
 Sift flour with salt; cut in shortening as for pie crust.  Mix egg 
 yolks, lemon juice and water and sprinkle over flour mixture; blend
 lightly until dough is formed.  Divide dough into two parts.  Roll
 first piece to fit bottom and sides of 9x13 pan.
 FILLING:
 About six cups of sliced apples, 2/3 c. sugar, 2 tbl flour, 1/2 tsp.
 cinnamon.  (This is great with *cherry* filling also!)
 Arrange apples (or cherry filling) in crust-lined pan, then sprinkle
 over with sugar-cinnamon mixture.  Roll remaining dough to fit top;
 arrange over filling, fold and crimp/seal around edges.  Cut steam
 vents in top crust.  Bake about 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees.
 ICING:
 1 c. powdered sugar, 2 Tbl. butter, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1-2 Tbl. milk.
 Mix and spread over baked slices while slightly warm.
 ENJOY!
