Frosted Apple Squares

So, I had these apples for a while, and I wanted to cook with them, but didn't know what I wanted to cook. So, I googled apple recipes, and found this one. I'm not the biggest fan of cooked apples, but WOW!!! This was awesome! I just finished them a little while ago, and I've already had three! So, if you need to get rid of some apples, this is a good way to do that.

Frosted Apple Squares

Dough:
3 3/4 - 4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 cup butter/margarine
4 egg yolks

Apple Filling:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
3 medium apples, cored, peeled, and sliced

Powdered Sugar Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoons milk

Filling: In a suacepan, combine water, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in slightly beaten egg yolk and apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick (about five minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.

Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cup flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm. Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add egg yolks and 1/2 cup flour. Beat 2 minutes on high. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Divide dough in half. Spread half of the dough over ungreased 15 x 10-inch baking pan. Spread apple filling over dough. Roll remaining dough to cover filling. Seal and wait until doubled in size (about 45 minutes). Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until evenly golden. Drizzle with glaze. Let cool in pan; cut into squares.

Powdered Sugar Glaze: combine powdered sugar and milk. Stir until smooth.
