absorbed. For the filling, mix 4 1/2 ounces butter, sugar and 2 eggs into a
smooth paste. Gradually add the almonds, cake flour and vanilla extract.
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
