January 2010 Recipe: Mini Apple Cinnamon Tarts

For the tart shells, combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Using pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles crumbly corn meal. Add water, 1 T. at a time, kneading mixture until dough forms a ball. Wrap dough in plastic, flatten and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease mini-tart pans that are 2-3 inches. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out 3 inch circles using a jagged knife and press into prepared mini-tart pans. Meanwhile, peel and slice apples. Arrange them in overlapping slices. Mix brown sugar, milk and cinnamon. Drizzle over the apples and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
