1 c sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Beat yolk in bowl. Add 1/2 cup milk; mix well. Set aside.

  • 4. Combine 1 cup sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and nutmeg in bowl. Sprinkle over apples. Roll remaining half of dough into 15 1/2 X 10 1/2inch rectangle; place over apples.
  • 5. Beat reserved egg white with fork until foamy; brush over top crust. Combine remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 tbsp. sugar in bowl; sprinkle over crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 6. Combine powdered sugar, vanilla and enough milk for desired glazing consistency in bowl. Drizzle over warm bars.
  • 7. If pastry dough does not form a ball easily, add up to 1 tbsp. additional milk, 1 tsp. at a time.
  • 8. To transfer pastry to baking pan, fold pastry in half; fold in half again. Place folded corner at center of pan. Unfold pastry carefully.
  • 9. Top pastry should be rolled on lightly floured surface slightly larger than bottom pastry to allow pastry to cover filling easily.
