Recipe by CrystalB

From my favourite church cookbook, where all the recipes are tried and true! **Like most of the reviews state, if you don't want to fight with the pastry to make it fit a cookie sheet - make 1.5x the dough recipe or use a smaller pan.

Cover pastry with apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon (homemade chunky applesauce also works well).
Roll out second half of dough and place on top of apples. Moisten edges with milk and pinch together.
Beat egg white until stiff and brush on crust. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
Mix glaze ingredients together and brush on crust.
