Mini Apple Tarts
Introduction
Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.
Ingredients
24 phyllo dough tart shells
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
1 lemon, juiced
2 T butter, unsalted
4 T brown sugar
1/2 c caramel ice cream topping
1/2 c whipped cream (optional--nutrition info NOT included)
