In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut shortening into 1 inch cubes and add to flour. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or your fingers, blend until crumbly.
In 1 cup liquid measuring cup, beat together the egg yolks with a fork. Pour milk into the measuring cup until it reaches ⅔ cup.
Pour liquid into flour mixture and stir to combine. It will begin to form into a ball at which point you can use your hands and knead it slightly. Do no over knead. If it is too wet, add a teaspoon of flour at at time until it forms a ball.
Cut into 2 even pieces and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy and set aside.

Brush with egg white. Then cover with apple filling.

Brush with egg white and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.
