I rarely eat dessert, but I do live in one of the most important apple
producing regions in the world. Now and then I have to enjoy an apple
dessert and this one is easy and very tasty. It comes from our Washington
State Apple Commission.

Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg
and salt. Gradually stir in the flour until a soft dough is formed. Cover
tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then roll dough on a lightly
floured surface to a 10inch circle. Place in a 9inch glass quiche pan or
round tart pan.

Heat a medium frying pan and add the 2 tablespoons butter. Saut‚ the
apples in the butter for about 5 minutes. Add the One fourth cup sugar and the
cinnamon. Toss.

Arrange the apple slices in the pastry shell and bake at 375ø for 15 to 20
minutes, or until the pastry is golden. Brush the apples with the marmalade
and return to the oven for about 2 minutes. Remove and cool a bit before
serving.
