How to cook deliciously - Apple Danish
1. Stage
In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, then cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Stage
Combine the egg yolk and milk, then add this egg mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until the dough clings together.
3. Stage
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough into a 15x10-inch rectangle, then transfer it to a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan and set it aside.
4. Stage
In a bowl, toss together the apples, sugar, melted butter, flour and cinnamon. Spoon this over the pastry in the pan.
5. Stage
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the remaining dough into another 15x10-inch rectangle. Place that dough over the filling, then brush the top with the egg white.
6. Stage
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let the Danish cool in the pan on a wire rack.
7. Stage
While the Danish bakes, combine the confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the warm pastry, then cut the pastry into squares.
