Ingredients

For the shells -

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 T sugar
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • Non-stick spray

For the filling -

  • 2 T unsalted butter
  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, diced
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 3 T sugar
  • 3 T caramel sauce
  • 2 T flour
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • ½ t salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray, set aside.
  • Carefully unroll the pie crust. Use a 2 inch round cookie cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, saving the scraps to reroll and cut.
  • Press each circle into the bottom of the prepared mini-muffin tin.
  • Use a fork to prick the bottom of each one to prevent bubbling.
  • Spray liberally with another layer of non-stick spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the crust shells.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before removing from the pan.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the diced apples, lemon juice and butter.
  • Heat over medium for about 5-10 minutes or until tender and soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the sugar, caramel sauce, flour, cinnamon and salt. Continue to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes or until sugar has melted and the mixture thickens.
  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • To assemble - scoop spoonfuls of the caramel apple filling into each shell.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Mini tartlets should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The moisture from the filling will soften the shell, so for best results, it’s recommended to serve immediately.
