DIRECTIONS

In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine milk and egg yolk; mix well. Gradually add to dry ingredients until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of pastry to fit an ungreased 13-in. pizza pan. Sprinkle with cornflakes. Top with apples. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Place over apples; cut slits in top. Seal pastry and flute edges if desired. Brush with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until golden.
For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough water to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over pizza.

I have been looking for this recipe for 10 years!!! My grandma made this type of apple pizza, only with a basting of egg whites and sugar instaed of an icing type glaze. I also like to add just a splash of OJ to my pizza crust.

I didn't like the pizza portion of this dish because I felt it was too dry. However, the combination of flavors is to die for. I did a second apple pizza with butter and water in the crust as well as walnuts in the apple mixture and was also great.
