Danish Apple Roll

This recipe came from a former neighbor and co-worker, Vickie. Easy to make and a nice alternative to apple pie...especially if you are fond of more pie crust, not so much filling...like me!

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening

1 egg yolk (reserve white for later) and enough milk to make 2/3 cup liquid

2 handfuls corn flakes (cereal)

1 quart sliced apples (approx 8 -10)

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

*****Icing Ingredients****

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Mix flour, salt, shortening and the egg yolk/milk mixture like you would for pie crust. Roll out half the dough to cover a 10" by 15" cookie sheet. Sprinkle the corn flakes on the rolled out crust, leaving a 1 inch margin around edges. Top with sliced apples. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the apples. Roll out the other half of the dough and cover the apples. Seal the edges. Beat the reserved egg white slightly and brush on the top crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-35 minutes.

*****Icing Instructions*****

Mix the powdered sugar, water and vanilla together and drizzle over the apple roll while it is still warm.

Note: The egg white really hardens on the cookie sheet making it difficult to clean, so the last time I made this, I covered the cookie sheet with parchment paper and that took care of that problem!
