Apple Danish Bars

Preheat your oven to a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).

Take a large mixing container and combine the flour and salt in it. Using your fingers or a pastry blender, break down the shortening into small pieces and mix it with the flour until you get a mixture that resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate container, whisk together the egg yolk and add enough milk to create a total liquid of 2/3 cup. Mix this liquid into the flour mixture until all the flour is well-coated.

Divide the dough in half and take one of the halves. On a surface dusted with flour, roll out this dough into a rectangle shape. Carefully place the dough rectangle into a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Take another large mixing container and combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Fill the 9x13 inch pan with this apple mixture.

Take the remaining dough and roll it out into a rectangle shape. Place this dough over the apple mixture in the pan, making sure to cover it evenly.

Use your fingers or a pastry brush to seal the edges of the dough and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. In a separate container, whisk together the egg white until it becomes frothy.

Brush this frothy egg white mixture over the top crust of the dough. This will give your pie a golden brown finish.

Bake this apple pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
