SWEET pastry:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup real butter
1 egg, beaten
Apple filling:
3 medium apples (4 cups) sliced, peeled baking apples {Granny Smith}
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 T milk
1 tsp almond extract
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the crust is in pea-size crumbles. Mix in the beaten egg. Grease a 13x9 pan with non-stick spray and pat 2/3 of the mixture into the pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice the apples. Toss the sliced apples with flour, sugar and cinnamon. Spread apples out onto the crust. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool completely and drizzle with the glaze to taste. Allow the bars to harden and cut to serve.
