Loved this recipe. Cuts beautifully. Used a 10x15 pan. I used butter for the shortening and it worked perfect. Needed a tad more crust, so next time I will do 3 cups of flour and 3/4 cups of milk. Used a simple egg wash, which browned beautifully. I did not put the glaze on and it didn't need it at all. I use a convection oven at 375 degrees. Looks just like an apple pie but square, but better.

I made this and took it into work and I got compliments from everyone! I had a problem stretching the crust and didn't have enough for the top and bottom so when I made it a second time, I made 1 and 1/2 times the crust.

I took Chef Trumpies hint and made extra dough, this was very good! Great treat for those who LOVE apple pie (ME!). I had a few extra apples so I used a little more than the recipe called for, it worked fine. I served these cut up on a platter with pieces of cheddar cheese and it made a lovely presentation as well as a great snack. My son enjoyed this too, which was a surprise because he wanted no part of apple pie at Christmas. I think this appealed more to him because it was "finger food". That is fine with me because these do not have too much sugar. I think it would be very interesting to mix up the fruit a bit, try pears, raisens ect. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
