The story, tips & photos

Easiest mini French apple tarts with thin apple slices, apricot glaze and powdered sugar

We picked delicious locally grown apples, and I wanted to make a dessert out of them. The first thing that came rushing back to me was the smell that used to fill our home growing up whenever Mom made apple tart. Sweet memories of home sweet home. I wanted to re-create that delectable dessert, but with a super-easy and quick recipe. Oh my goodness, did I succeed! Introducing the most delicious and Easiest Mini French Apple Tarts you will ever have in your life!

I used store-bought pie crust, and to make them look super pretty, I used a mini tart/quiche pan to cut out these beautiful shapes. I was able to get 5 tarts out of one pie crust. I brushed them with a tiny bit of apricot jam. The dough is thin, so you don't need to add much; you can even skip this step if you like.

I tossed the thinly sliced apples in lemon juice to add some tartness, then sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top of the layered apples. They baked for only 15 minutes and were done! Keep an eye on them, since they're very thin, so they don't burn.

I diluted a bit of apricot jam in water and used it to glaze the tarts. Let them cool for a bit, then sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and eat away! They taste good slightly warm or cold, so they can be prepared in advance as well.

These are sooo mouth-watering! You'll be amazed at how fast you devour them once you get your hands on them.
