Glazed Apple Pie Slices
 
 
Glazed apple pie slices are a midwestern classic version of an apple slab pie made with flaky homemade pastry, a simple apple filling, and topped with vanilla glaze.
Yield: 2 dozen slices
Ingredients
For the pastry
  • 2¾ cups (352 g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • ½ cup (113 g) whole milk
  • 1 large egg yolk
For the filling
  • 2¾ lb (1.25 kg) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup (75 g) brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (67 g) sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
For assembly and icing
  • 3 cups (85 g) cornflakes, finely crushed
  • 1 large egg white
  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 4 tsp water
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
For the pastry
  1. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add in the cubed butter and pulse again just until the mixture appears crumbly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolk. Slowly pour in the milk mixture with the processor running and blend just until the dough comes together.
  3. Pour the dough onto a clean work surface and divide it in half. Shape each portion into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
For the filling
  1. In a large bowl, toss together the apples, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
For assembly
  1. Heat oven to 400F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Roll out one disk of dough to a rectangle that is slightly smaller than your baking sheet. Place the dough on the parchment. Scatter the crushed cornflakes over the top of the dough. Top with the apple filling, spreading it over the cornflakes in an even layer, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  3. Roll out the second disk of dough into a similarly sized rectangle. Place this on top of the apples. Fold the bottom layer of dough up around the edges to make a 1-inch border and crimp the top and bottom pieces of dough together to seal.
  4. In a small cup, whisk together the egg white and salt until the mixture is loose. Brush the surface of the dough with the egg white mixture.
  5. Place in the oven and bake until golden, about 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  6. To make the icing, whisk together sugar, salt, water, and and vanilla. Brush over the top of the warm pie.
  7. Allow pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
