Libbie's Coconut Apple Strips

From Libbie again; very old recipe; looks like a baked 3 layer apple coffee cake in layers.

• Ready In: 1 hr 30 mins
• Serves: 10

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

1. Sift flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together.
2. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
3. Add 3 tablespoons water and 3 tablespoons cream together until blended.
4. Turn onto a floured board.
5. 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.
6. Arrange 8 apples (peeled, cored, and sliced,) on dough sprinkled with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
7. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
8. Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. 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.
10. Spoon this mixture over apples.
11. Bake 20 minutes more 375 degrees Fahrenheit. No temperature was given so I am guessing.
