A delightful twist on classic mini apple pies, these spiced apple tarts are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pulse the processor to avoid overmixing the dough.
Add the cold water to the mixture and pulse until the dough starts to come together.
Add water gradually to achieve the right consistency.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and bring it together by hand. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Chill the dough for 10 minutes if it becomes too soft to handle.
Cut out 12 circles using a 4-inch round cutter and press each into the muffin tin to form a crust.
Use a glass or bowl if you don't have a cutter.
Peel, core, and dice the apples. Mix them with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
Toss the apples well to coat them evenly with the spices.
Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared crusts, filling each to the top.
Pack the filling slightly to ensure each tart is full.
Place a small piece of butter on top of each tart.
This adds a rich flavor to the filling as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Check the tarts halfway through to ensure even baking.
Allow the tarts to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Use a spoon to gently loosen the tarts if they stick.
