Apple Slices

6 apples
1-1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2-1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening or butter
2 eggs, separated
milk to equal 1/2 cup with the egg yolks
1 cup corn flake cereal, or more if desired
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla

Peel apples and slice into mixing bowl. Add 1-1/4 cups sugar and cinnamon; let stand while making crust. In another bowl, put flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and shortening; mix as for pastry until well-blended. In a measuring cup, beat egg yolks. Add enough milk to yolks to make not quite 1/2 cup; add to flour mixture and mix well. Divide dough in half. Roll out half to fit 9x13-inch pan. Crumble corn flakes on bottom crust. Put apple mixture over corn flakes. Roll out top crust and place over apples. Beat egg whites until stiff and spread evenly over crust. Bake at 350 degrees F. until apples are tender and crust is brown. [Length of baking time is probably about 45 minutes.] Mix powdered sugar, water, and vanilla. Use spoon to drizzle glaze over crust in a criss-cross pattern.

[Number of servings not given, but probably serves 12.]
