1/2 lb. butter (or 1/4 lb. of each)
1 sm. c. sugar
3 1/4 c. plain flour
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can of apples or fresh apples, sliced, partially cooked & seasoned with sugar & cinnamon to taste

Cream butter and sugar well, then add flour a little at a time. Add egg and vanilla. Mix until soft. Roll dough out on floured surface and cut enough to fit tart tins being used. Dough should be about 1/4 inch thick. Press into tart tins and fill tin about 2/3 with apples. Cut tops from dough and press to bottom crust.

Trim excess and cut hole in center crust to allow steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees until crust is golden brown. Carefully remove from tins while still warm and place on rack to cool. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top of tarts. Makes approximately 2 dozen tarts.
