Servings: 14 tarts
Equipment
- Muffin Tin
- Measuring cups + spoons
- Mixing bowl
- Large spoon or spatula
- 3.5 inch round cookie cutter
Ingredients
For tarts
- 1 package Refrigerated pie crusts (2 pie crusts)
- 3 tablespoon Flour
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 ½ cups Apples diced (about 2 - 3 apples)
For crumble topping
- ¼ cup Butter melted
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray if it isn’t non-stick.
- Roll out the pie crust and use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Press each dough circle into the muffin tin, crimping the edges to fit.
- In a bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Stir until apples are well coated.
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of filling into each tart shell, leaving a little space at the top.
- In another bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour it into the crumble mixture. Pro tip: Cut butter into small chunks before microwaving and heat in 30-second intervals.
- Stir the crumble ingredients until a paste-like mixture forms.
- Spoon a thin layer of crumble on top of each tart.
- Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the apples are soft. Let the tarts cool completely before removing from the tin. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Tips
- Avoid overfilling – Leave a little space at the top to prevent overflow while baking.
- Skip the crumble for speed – For a quicker version, leave off the crumble and top with whipped cream after baking.
- Crimp the crust – This helps create the classic tart shape when using a muffin tin.
- Use a non-stick tin or grease it well – These can be hard to remove if the pan isn’t prepped properly. Let them cool completely before taking them out.
- Prevent browning – If prepping in advance, toss the apples in lemon juice to keep them from discoloring.
- Reheat – Warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
- Freeze – Flash freeze tarts on a baking sheet, then wrap in plastic and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Store – Keep leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for about 5 days.
