Peel, core, and cut 10 apples.

Add remaining ingredients to the apples and mix well.

Set the apple filling aside for later.

On a floured surface, roll out chilled pie crust.

Use a single recipe for the top crust and a single recipe for the bottom crust.

Press the bottom crust into a greased 16 by 12 inch baking dish (a 9x13 pan would also work).

Roll out the second pie crust on a lightly floured surface.

Transfer the apple filling into the crust shell and evenly distribute the apples.

Lay the crust over the top of the apples.

Use fingers to seal the crust together.

Cut away any excess dough around the edges.

Slit the pie crust to allow for venting.

Using a single beaten egg, lightly coat the crust with a pastry brush.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes.

While the squares are baking, mix together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make a glaze.

Beat the glaze until smooth.

Once the apple squares are cool, evenly cover the squares with the glaze.
