the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt;
gradually add to creamed mixture. Divide in dough in half. Refrigerate for 2-3
hours or until easy to handle (dough will be soft). Meanwhile, in a small
saucepan, combine the filling ingredients. Cook over medium heat until apples are
softened and mixture is thickened; cool. On a lightly floured surface roll out
each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. apple
cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Spread with 2
teaspoons of filling to within 1/4 in. of edge. Top with another cutout seal
edges. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to
wire racks to cool completely. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons
water and 18 drops red food coloring. In another small bowl, combine remaining
water and 6 drops green food coloring. Using a pastry brush, "paint" apples red
with green leaves.
Yield: 2 dozen.
