Apple Pie Squares
Crust:
2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter,
cut into pieces
1 egg
1/2 cup milk, plus
2 tablespoons for brushing
Filling:
5 large apples
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, optional
1/4 teaspoon cardamom, optional
Pinch of nutmeg, optional
1. Put 2 3/4 cups flour and the salt in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup sugar.
Pulse briefly to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add egg and 1/2 cup milk and pulse to form a dough, stopping as soon as the
mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
2. Gather dough into a ball and divide it in two. Wrap each in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
4. Core and dice the apples. In a large bowl, toss them with the spices, 2
tablespoons flour, and almost 1 cup of the sugar, reserving 2 tablespoons to
sprinkle over the top at the end.
5. Roll out one dough ball on a floured surface to fit the baking pan. Lay it
in the pan. (Fold dough in quarters and then unfold it in the pan.)
6. Top with apple mixture, arranging apples into a fairly flat layer.
7. Top the apples with the remaining layer of dough. Brush top with 2
tablespoons milk, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes,
until golden brown on top. Let cool completely before cutting it into squares,
or it won't hold together.Apple Pie Squares
