Description
Caramel Apple Tartlets are a delightful fall treat featuring a buttery crust filled with spiced apples and drizzled with caramel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Stir in the egg yolk until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a muffin tin to form small tart shells. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the tart shells for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon and granulated sugar until well coated.
- Fill each tart shell with the cinnamon-sugar apple mixture. Drizzle caramel sauce over the apples, and sprinkle with chopped pecans if using.
- Bake the filled tartlets for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the caramel is bubbly.
- Allow the tartlets to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar when tossing the apples.
- Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the warm tartlets for an indulgent dessert.
