Apple Pie Slice Squares
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 6 apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices, or more to taste
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To create the base, combine two cups of flour and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender or a fork to break down the butter into small pieces, resulting in a crumbly mixture.
3
To make the filling, whisk together water, eggs, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the flour mixture until it forms a cohesive ball.
4
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a rectangular shape, approximately nine inches by thirteen inches. Place one of these rectangles at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5
In a separate container, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, three tablespoons of flour, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix the ingredients together until the apples are evenly coated.
6
Spread the apple mixture over the base crust, ensuring it's fully covered. Cover the apples with the remaining dough, piecing together any gaps to create a seamless surface.
7
Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during cooking. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling over.
8
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to one hour, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
9
Once cooked, allow the pie to cool to room temperature before cutting it into squares. This will take approximately thirty minutes.
