Preheat oven to 350. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls into cups of mini-muffin pan. Dip tart shaper into flour and press into dough to form shell.

For filling, combine all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Fill tart shells evenly with filling. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove pan to rack and cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
