Taffy Apple Tartlets
Recipe


1/4 cup dry-roasted peanuts
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel sauce (from a 17-oz jar), divided
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 pkg (15 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts), softened according to package directions
12 caramels, unwrapped



Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop peanuts using Food Chopper; set aside for later use. Cut peeled apples lengthwise into quarters using Utility Knife. Lay each quarter cut side down; angle knife, cut out and discard core. Coarsely chop apples with Food Chopper. Combine apples, 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce and flour in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well using Small Mix ‘N Scraper®. Microwave on HIGH 5-6 minutes or until bubbling and thickened; stir and set aside.


Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured Cutting Board. Spacing closely together, cut 12 disks from crust using outer tube of Measure-All® Cup (nine around outside edge and three in center). Press disks into wells of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan using Mini-Tart Shaper, ruffling edges. Repeat with remaining crust.


Cut caramels in half using Utility Knife; place one piece into each tart shell. Spoon apple mixture evenly into tart shells; sprinkle with peanuts. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges of tartlets are golden brown. Remove tartlets from pan to Stackable Cooling Rack. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Serve warm.

Cook's Tip: To easily drizzle caramel sauce over tartlets, place resealable plastic bag into Measure-All® Cup. Pour caramel into corner of bag. Twist top of bag; secure with Twixit! Clip. Cut corner off tip of bag to allow caramel to flow through.

Thanks so much, I did look at CC and didn't find it. I found the lemon cakes but not the tartlets.
 
I have made this and personally I increase the apple (use 1 more) and use only a 1/4 of the caramel on the bottom - if any. Find it tastes better this way.
 


Hi Carol,

I can definitely help you with the Taffy Apple Tarlet recipe! Here it is:

Ingredients:
-1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
-1/4 cup packed brown sugar
-1/4 cup butter
-1/4 cup light corn syrup
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/4 cup chopped walnuts
-1/4 cup chopped dried apples
-1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
-1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
-1/4 cup chopped dried cherries

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or small bowl to cut out 12 circles from the crust.
2. Press each circle into a mini muffin tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together chopped walnuts, dried apples, cranberries, apricots, and cherries.
5. Fill each mini pie crust with the fruit and nut mixture. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
6. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, until caramel is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.

As for the caramel, I personally prefer using Kraft for this recipe. However, you can use whichever brand you prefer or even make your own homemade caramel sauce. I hope this helps and your taffy apple tarlets turn out delicious! Happy baking!

 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the Taffy Apple Tartlet recipe?

To make Taffy Apple Tartlets, you will need the following ingredients: tart apples (like Granny Smith), sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and pre-made pastry shells or dough. You may also want to have caramel sauce for drizzling on top.

How do I prepare the apples for the Taffy Apple Tartlets?

Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into thin pieces. Then, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the apples to soften slightly.

What is the baking time and temperature for the Taffy Apple Tartlets?

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared apple mixture into the pastry shells and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

Can I make Taffy Apple Tartlets ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to assemble and bake the tartlets just before serving to ensure the pastry remains crisp and the apples are fresh.

What can I serve with Taffy Apple Tartlets?

Taffy Apple Tartlets pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for an extra sweet touch!
