    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup shortening
    • 🥚 4 egg yolks
    • 💧 8 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2

Combine 4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening with a fork until coarse crumbs form.

3

Whisk egg yolks, cold water, and lemon juice together. Stir into the flour mixture until dough forms; divide in half. Roll out 1 half and press into the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking pan.

4

Combine apples, sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and ground cinnamon in a bowl for the filling. Spread over the dough in the pan.

5

Roll out the remaining dough and lay it over the filling. Brush with milk and cut slits on the dough using a sharp knife.

6

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.

7

Cool the bars for at least 20 minutes before cutting into them.
