Description
Caramel Apple Mini Tarts are the perfect dessert recipe for Thanksgiving or fall holiday. Everything you love about apple pie in a miniature elegant version.
Ingredients
- 2 whole Pie Crusts, 9-inch Size
- FOR THE STREUSEL:
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
- ¼ cups Flour
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- ¼ cups Quick Oats
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 2 Apples
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- ¼ cups Chopped Pecans
- ¼ cups Caramel Ice Cream Topping
Preparation
Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter, cut each pie crust into 6 circles. You may need to press extra dough together for final cut. Arrange pie crust circles on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
To make streusel, in a small bowl, cut butter into flour. Stir in brown sugar and oats.
Core and slice each apple into quarters (so you have 4 pieces). Then cut each quarter into thin slices making a half moon shape with each slice. Each slice should be about 1/8 inch thick.
Layer apple slices on pie crust, about 4 to 5 slices per circle. Slightly overlap slices so that most of the dough is covered.
Finely dice any extra apple slices and stir into streusel topping. This should be about ¼ to ½ cup of diced apple.
Spoon 1 ½ tablespoons of the streusel topping over the apples on each mini tart.
Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Remove mini tarts from oven. Add 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans to each tart. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until crusts are slightly golden.
Remove mini tarts from oven and while warm drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of the caramel ice cream topping.
