To make the dough, mix the flour, confectioner's sugar, and 1-1/2 oz

absorbed.

Make a smooth paste.
Peel, core, quarter and thin slice apples; save them in orange juice
to prevent browning. Roll out dough and lay in 9" tart pan, and
perforate the bottom to prevent unnecessary bubbles. Spread in
filling and layer on apples in decorative manner.
Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is done. Glaze
