Directions

1. Prebake tart shell and brush warm shell with apricot preserves. (SQ note - Baking time was not included in this recipe but listening to reviewers leads me to think that 15 minutes at 350F should be about right.).

3. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
4. Arrange apple slices in tart shell.
5. Scatter walnuts on top of fruit.
6. Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in small bowl.
7. Add butter and work with fingers to form a crumb topping.
