"This was handed down from my Mother in-law. I like it since I don't like to make pies. It's always a hit and freezes well for lunches."

ingredients
directions
- Mix together the flour and salt; cut in the shortening.
- Separate the egg yolk from the egg white. Set the egg white aside to glaze the top crust.

- Add the milk/egg mixture to the flour mixture all at once.
- Mix together until it holds together.
- Gather into a ball and separate into 2 equal portions.
- Roll out the first half to fit into a jelly roll pan or a large cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle 2 or 3 handfuls of crushed cereal on top of the crust. I just use my hands to crush the cereal.
- Mix the apples with the sugar and spread on top of the cereal.
- Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and dot with butter.
- Roll out the second crust. Gently place over the top of the apples.
- Whisk the reserved egg white until frothy; brush the top crust with it.
- Cut small uniform slits on the top crust.

I live in Washington State, and 4 years ago I left the business world and started my second stint at opening an in-home daycare. My husband and I have have been together since high school and have been married 38 years, and we are still in love! Our daughter and son are grown and on their own, they have given us 2 wonderful grandsons, who are the light of our live's.When I was first married I made everything by scratch and still do most of the time! Got that from my mother who was a wonderful cook. She raised four daughters (with dad!), had a garden every year, sewed many of our clothes, made dinner every night and in her spare time had a 35 year career in management. A truly inspiring women that our family misses each and every day. I spent 18 years with a women's non-profit group. We raised money by catering to help support local and national charities. Our special project each year was for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital. We spend a lot of our free time with the kids and cooking is almost always on the agenda. My husband and I enjoy taking trips and entering car shows with our restored 63 SS Nova. Now that it's just the two of us I tend to cook larger meals on the weekends and simpler ones during the work week. I got my love of recipe collecting from my mother.
