Individual Apple Pie Tarts
A couple weeks ago I wanted to make some dessert for a special after dinner treat. I was thinking apple crisp or apple pie. I didn’t want to put the effort into apple pie. I make fruit crisps or crumbles a lot so I wanted something a little different.
This is where puff pastry comes in handy. I happened to have some in the freezer so decided on a mini apple pie tart. These are very easy to make and look way harder than they actually are. They are simple enough for any night but look fancy enough for special occasions.
Top them with some coconut milk ice cream for a tasty (and pretty healthy) vegan treat.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 3 apples, cored and sliced thin
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbs flour
- 3 Tbs maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the filling
For the topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside
- Place the pastry sheet on lightly floured work surface and use a rolling pin to thin out the rectangle a bit
- Cut the pastry sheet into 12 squares. Place one square in each of the cups of the muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl mix together the ingredients for the filling.
- In a small bowl mix together the ingredients for the topping until crumbly.
- Spoon the apple filling in to the muffin tin. Top with the crumble topping.
- Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
- Top with ice cream if desired.

These are so cute! Pinning them.
Do you make your own coconut milk ice cream? I’d love a recipe or directions!
I did make my own ice cream. I really should write a post about it but taking pictures of ice cream is a bit frightening! Here’s how I made it: 1 can coconut milk, 1 cup soy soy creamer and enough soy milk or coconut milk (carton) to make 4 cups liquid. Place all of this in blender and add 1 vanilla bean, 1/4 c sugar (or honey or maple syrup), and 1 Tbs cornstarch. Process everything in blender for a bit. Strain the mixture to get out the pieces of the vanilla bean. (you could also just use the inside of the bean and not strain it.) Place the mixture in your ice cream maker and freeze according to the instructions for your machine. I have an attachment for my KitchenAid and it takes about 15-20 minutes for mine to freeze.
Oooh!!! These look really good! Nice work.
