Taffy Apple Tartlets.

Hi Blogers, 

No card for you today, instead I have a yummy recipe that I got from my friend Diane. Di is a pampered chef consultant.

This recipe is Taffy Apple Tarts and they are very yum! Tomorrow at work we are having a finger food day for Halloween and this is what I will be bringing.

Here is the recipe. 

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

2 Granny smith apples

1/2 cup butterscotch caramel sauce. ( they kind you used to put over ice cream)

2 TSP flour

1 pkg( 2 crusts) of all ready pie crust

12 caramels unwrapped.

Pre- heat oven to 400 degrees. 

chop up the peanuts  set aside for use later. 

cut, peel and core the apples, chop until there are small pieces. 

add the caramel sauce and flour.

Use a round biscuit cutter to cut the pie crust to rounds, you should get 12 pieces from one pie crust. 9 on 6 the outside and 3 inside. 

the mini rounds are the pushed into small mini muffin tins. 

Put 1/2 of a caramel piece in the bottom of each pie crust round, top with the apple mixture, sprinkle with peanuts. 

Bake for 14-16 minutes. take out of muffin tins and cool on rack. Best is served warm.

This should make 24 mini tartlets.

Enjoy!
Happy Halloween!
