Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and shortening. Add the egg yolk and enough milk to make 1 cup of liquid total. Mix everything together until a smooth dough forms.
Step 2: Ready the Pan and Bottom Crust
Tip: A 15×10-inch cookie sheet works best. Roll out half of the dough to fit the pan, then gently press it into place.
Step 3: Add the Filling Layers
Scatter 2–3 handfuls of Corn Flakes evenly over the bottom crust. Arrange the sliced apples in a layer over the cereal.
Step 4: Season and Add Butter
Stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly across the apples. Distribute the cubed butter over the top.
Step 5: Top with Remaining Dough
Roll out the rest of the dough and lay it over the apples. Seal the edges well by crimping them firmly.
Step 6: Apply Egg Wash and Vent
Beat the egg with 1 teaspoon sugar. Brush this over the top crust. Cut several small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape while baking.
Step 7: Bake
Bake at 425°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
Step 8: Glaze and Serve
While the pie is still warm, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and enough milk to form a thin frosting. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the hot pie. Slice and serve warm.
