Apple Tart

Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 tbsp white vinegar

Filling
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups coarsely grated apples
Icing sugar

Sweetened whipped cream

Combine lightly with a fork 1 cup of flour, salt and 2 tbsp sugar. Cut in butter and blend with a fork until the mixture looks like shortbread dough. Stir in vinegar using fork to blend. Spread dough thickly on the bottom of a 9” flan pan, extending dough thinly about 1” up the sides. Pat even with hands.

Combine the 1 cup of sugar, 2 tbsp flour, cinnamon and apples in a large bowl and mix well. Spread evenly over the dough. Place flan pan on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 45-60 minutes (until top is golden brown). Remove from oven and cool the flan pan on rack. Remove sides of pan and sift icing sugar over top. OPTIONAL: Pipe with whipped cream at serving time.
