Apple Slices Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature (divided)
2-1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce compressed yeast, crumbled
Two egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup fat free milk
8 to 10 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
Topping (see recipe)

Directions:
In mixing bowl, combine 1-cup butter, flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add egg yolks and milk. Mix until blended.
On lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of dough into rectangle 15-by-10-inches or to fit in a jelly roll pan. Unfold to original size. Dough will be soft and very pliable. If dough should break, you can patch it easily.

Roll remaining pastry to 13-by-8-inch rectangle. Place over apples and over lap border of pastry. Fold edges of bottom pastry over top pastry. Crimp edges to seal and cut a few slits in top.
Bake in preheated oven one hour. Place on wire rack to cool.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 to 7 tablespoons flour
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
