1 3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, melted and slightly cooked
2 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 med. sized tart apples (approximately 1 lb.) pared, cored and sliced 3/4 inch thick
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch spring form pan. Beat flour, 1 cup of the sugar, 1/2 cup of the butter, baking powder, and 2 of the eggs in medium size bowl to make smooth dough. Refrigerate until chilled.

Press dough evenly over bottom and 2 inches up side of prepared pan. Flour fingers lightly if dough is sticky. Stand apple slices in the surface of dough, rounded sides up. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Place pan on baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes or until dough is lightly golden. Leave oven on.

Stir together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of the butter, and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Carefully pour over the tarte, do not allow egg mixture to run over sides of dough. Bake at 350 degrees for an additional 20 minutes or until custard sets. Cool on rack, remove sides of pan. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
