Preheat oven to 450F. Unfold crust and press out fold lines. Sprinkle with flour. Roll out to 12” round. Arrange floured side down in 11” diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Pierce bottom and sides with fork. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Check crust during baking. If sides of crust slide down, carefully press back up with fork. Cool completely.

Melt preserves in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Brush over papaya. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup toasted coconut around edge of tart and in center.
