ingredients

BOTTOM LAYER
2 cups flour, sifted
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup butter (she had SHORTENING here but I know she only used butter or lard)
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons cream
SECOND LAYER
8 apples, peeled cored and sliced
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter
THIRD LAYER
1 egg
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream (or sweet cream)
¹⁄₈ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
2 cups coconut, flaked

directions

Sift flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Add 3 tablespoons water and 3 tablespoons cream together until blended.
Turn onto a floured board.
Roll out to fit a 15x10 inch pan; I would use a 9x13 pan. This is a very old recipe and they used different pans back then.
Arrange 8 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced,) on dough sprinkled with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend together 1 egg slightly beaten, 1/2 cup cream (sweet or sour), 1/2 cup sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 2 cups coconut, flaked.
Spoon this mixture over apples.
Bake 20 minutes more 375 degrees Fahrenheit. No temperature was given so I am guessing.
