Fall has arrived on a cool light breeze...

Step One:

Peel,core & slice/dice apples and mix with 1 teaspoon of Pure Vanilla extract. The best apples to use I find are either Macintosh or Granny Smith. You will need  work 2 to 3 pounds. Then mix  the peeled, sliced apples with the following: (whisk the following dry ingredients together - then mix with apples.)

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoons nutmeg

Step Two:

Make a basic pie crust or you can use two Pillsbury Pre made Pie crust. 

Pie Crust as follows:2 cups of all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 12 teaspoons of unsalted butter cold & cubed, 1/4 cup milk and 1 egg yolk.

Line in deep dish cookie sheet. Then crush and spread over top of pie crust Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal or Corn Flakes.

Step Three:

Place apple slices over crushed cereal evenly. Make pie crust for top layer and cover completely .

Step Four:

Whisk egg white and spread evenly over top crust and sprinkle with a cinnamon and sugar mixture!

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven let set for 10 minutes .

During this time you can make a glaze for top of bars if desired and drizzle over top of bars.

Enjoy and Happy Fall :)
