Recipe Instructions

Combine flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Stir in milk until pastry forms a ball; set aside. Stir brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and remaining salt to form a paste. Divide and press into center of each apple; pat any extra filling on outside of apples.

On a floured surface, roll pastry into a 14 inch square. Cut into 4 - 7 inch squares. Place one apple in center of each square. Brush edges of pastry with egg white. Fold up corners to center; pinch to seal. Place in a greased 9 inch square baking dish.

Bake at 375F for 35 - 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir in water. Bring to a boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients until smooth.
