Ingredients:
  • 2.5 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, softened but not melted
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 0.33333334326744 cup milk, or as needed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 6 large apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 egg white, beaten until foamy
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 dash almond extract, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use a knife or pastry blender to cut in the softened butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together egg yolks and enough milk to reach 2/3 cup of liquid. Gradually stir this mixture into the flour until moistened. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll out half of the dough to fit the baking dish, then place the bottom crust in. Evenly sprinkle oats over the crust. Roll out the remaining dough for the top crust and set aside.
  • Combine cornstarch and lemon juice until smooth. Cook with apples, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large skillet over medium heat until apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Spread apple mixture over oats, add top crust, seal edges, brush with egg white, and make slits in the top crust for venting.
  • Bake in the oven until golden brown and filling thickens, approximately 50 minutes.
  • As the pie bakes, make the glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Add almond extract and stir well. Once the pie is done, drizzle the glaze over it. Combine 1 teaspoon of sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in another small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the glaze. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting.
