Great recipe comparable to a family recipe I’ve been using for years. I like to prepare the apples first and let sit while making the crust. The sugar on the apples draw out juices that soften the corn flakes that complement the flavor of the apples. I use 2 egg yolks in a cup with enough milk to make 2/3 cup. And I put this in a 15 x 10 bar pan. I apply the two beaten egg whites after the bars have baked and pop them back into the oven to brown, then drizzle with glaze. Wonderful bars that are always a hit!

Love them! I didn't have walnuts so I used chopped pecans and I also added about 1/2 cup chocolate chips to make it more like a dessert. I also did 1 1/2 cup apples (I needed to get rid of them). Great recipe I'll make it again! Thanks

They taste delicious, but a few things to remember: 1. On the bottom layer, make sure you leave a little upward edge with the dough, as you have to connect it with the top layer later. 2. WAY too much liquid for the crust, which completely threw off my recipe. I didn't realize it until too late (alas- should have read the previous reviewer). And I only used about 1/2 of the egg water mixture. I would also 1.5 times the crust ingredients, as I ran out of crust on top. So my presentation was awful due to the crust situation, but if you take 1 & 2 into consideration early on, I bet it would be awesome. It's basically apple pie bars. Sadly, I couldn't taste or sense the corn flakes.

While making this I was thinking "I hope this is as good as I'm anticipating because it's kind of a pain." It's well worth the work! And it's not THAT hard. Excellent!!

always a favorite for my family! My mom uses a different recipe and I combine the 2. I find the water and egg yolk to be too much liquid. I use 1 yolk plus enough MILK to MAKE 2/3cup. Mom uses shortening instead of butter but I can't tell the difference. You can also use vanilla instead of almond flavor for the glaze. I also make this on a cookie sheet instead of in a pan. You can make it bigger that way :-D

These bars are wonderful! The cornflakes make a nice crunch with every bite. I have looked for a recipe like this one for some time. Glad I found this!
