and crimp the edges.  Freeze for 10 minutes.  Cover the pie shell with foil
and weight with beans.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove the beans and foil and
set aside to cool. For Filling: Place porcini mushrooms in small bowl. Heat
cider to boiling and pour over dried mushrooms. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375&deg;. In medium size skillet, heat oil. Add onion and wild
and cultivated mushrooms and saute for 10 minutes. Add porcini with liquid,
applejack and salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered over low heat for 20
minutes.  Remove from heat, stir in parsley.  Beat eggs and cream together
and stir in cheese.  Combine egg and mushroom mixtures and pour into tart
shell.  Place tart pan on a cookie sheet.  Bake tart for 30 minutes.  Cool
5 minutes, carefully pushing up bottom of tart pan to release sides, place
