Preparation

Step 1

FOR THE TOPPING:

In a small bowl, combine the butter and the brown sugar with a fork.

Add the flour and the nuts, and mix until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

FOR THE TARTS

In a bowl, combine the butter, and the sugar and mix with a fork until well combined.

Add the egg, and continue to mix by hand.


Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and continue to mix till well combined. Knead into a large "ball" with your hands.

Make about 1 1/2" small "balls", and flatten with your fingers into a disc shape (see the pictures), and fit discs into the cups of a greased, (or use a "non-stick"), muffin baking pan (see the pictures).

Peel, core, and slice the apples, and then cut the apple slices into small chunks (pieces), into the tart shells.

Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of the apples (see the pictures).

Sprinkle the topping mixture over the apples.

Bake at 350° F for about 15 minutes or until done. Edges will begin to turn golden in colour.

Makes about 15 - 18 medium/large tarts.

Allow tarts to cool in the baking pan for about 20 minutes, and then remove them, using a bread and butter knife around the edges.

Store at room temperature.
