With fall in the air, I love to make anything with apples. I made these fun little tartlets for a Halloween activity we had. These are fun to make, cute and best of all very tasty! When I makes these for my family we like to serve them hot out of the oven with a scoop of ice cream. This time I added mini chocolate chips to the top when I took them out of the oven for a twist!Taffy Apple Tartlets
adapted from Pampered Chef Cookbook
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel sauce
2 Tbsp flour
1 pkg pie crust
12 caramels, unwrapped
(I like the little caramel bits by the chocolate chips. I add 3 of those to eat tartlet, must faster and they melt better. If not I add caramel topping to the bottom of the tartlet, about 1/2 tsp)
Heat oven to 400 degress.
Chop peanuts; set aside. Peel and coarsely chop apples. Combine apples, 1/2 cup of caramel sauce and flour in bowl; mix well. Microwave 5-6 minutes or until bubbling and thickened; stir and set aside.
Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured cutting board. Spacing closely together, cut 12 small disks from crust. Press disks into wells of mini-muffin pan, ruffling edges. Repeat with remaining crust. Cut caramels in half; place one piece into each tart shell. Spoon apple mixture into tart shells; sprinkle with peanuts. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges of tartlets are golden brown.
Remove tartlets from pan to cooling rack. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Serve warm.
