pastry blender or two knives.

In separate bowl, mix egg yolks and 8 tablespoons water.
Add to flour mixture. Mix well until dough forms a ball.
Separate into 2 balls. Roll one ball to cover width and
length of jellyroll pan. Press onto bottom and up sides
of lightly greased pan.

To make apple filling: Arrange apple slices over crust.
Combine remaining 2 tablespoons flour, remaining 1 1/2
to 2 cups sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture
over apples. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle

Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Roll out second ball of dough to make top crust. Place
over fruit and pinch edges to seal. Bake 1 hour or until
crust is light golden brown.

When pie is done, remove from oven and cool completely
on wire rack.

Make glaze by blending powdered sugar with remaining 1
teaspoon butter. Slowly add remaining 6 teaspoons warm
water and mix until smooth. Top cooled pie with glaze.

Joan E. Bergner, sent this recipe for apple cake as
requested by Dorothy Mankiewicz, Milwaukee.

She wrote: "Enclosed is an old family recipe for Apple
Slab Cake of my grandmother's, given to me by my aunt.
Dorothy Mankiewicz said her mother's cake was filled
with applesauce and that might have been so, but the
apples in my recipe cook down to an applesauce
consistency, so I think this one is comparable to hers.

"This is a large cake and takes some time to prepare,
but well worth the time and effort. It is enjoyed in our
family by three generations."

Although this dessert is called a cake, the consistency
is more similar to that of a pie.
