| 1. For the crust: | 2. Blend the softened butter with the sugar thoroughly. | 3. When creamy, add egg yolks vanilla and salt. | 4. Mix well. | 5. Blend in flour gradually, mixing lightly by hand until a homogenous mass. | 6. Pat dough into a 12" rectangular pyrex baking dish until it is evenly distributed over the bottom and part way up the sides. | 7. For the filling: | 8. Peel and core apples and slice them into fairly thin slices. | 9. Sprinkle the slices with lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar as you go, placing them into a bowl, until all the apples are sliced. | 10. Warm the jam. | 11. If it is in a glass jar, loosen the lid and place the jar in a small pot of water, with the water coming half way up the side of jar. | 12. Simmer over low heat until jam is soft. | 13. Spread half the jam on the surface of the crust, and then place the apples, slightly overlapping, in as many rows as the bottom will take. | 14. If you are using Mackintosh apples, they will shrink more and tend to break. | 15. Keep your prettiest slices for the top, and arrange them attractively. | 16. Using a pastry brush, spread the rest of the jam across the the top of the cake. | 17. Sprinkle the top with almonds (I always leave this out unless I'm making it for a certain person). | 18. Bake in a 350° oven for about an hour, until crust and apples are golden. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
