1 egg yolk
2 1/2 Tbsp cold water

The bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the bars didn't turn out as expected. The crust was too dry and the apples were too tart.

The recipe was easy to follow and the bars turned out great! I used Granny Smith apples and they were tart and flavorful. I also added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the crumb topping for extra flavor.
