Apple Tartlets

May 6, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These little tartlets take a little more time and effort that an apple tart but are a lot more portable. That makes them great for school or picnics.They fit perfectly into your hand.

You will need to cut the dough to make a base and lid for each tartlet. The base will be larger than the lid. I usually use a small plate or a saucer to make the base and a large cookie cutter for the top.

You can serve them with whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream but we usually eat them on the go.

Apple Tartlets

Prep Time 30 minutes minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 225 g plain flour
  • 115 g butter
  • 50 ml cold water
  • 3 cooking apples
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas mark 5
  • Peel, core and chop the apples into small pieces. Don't worry about them browning as this won't matter when they bake.
  • Sieve the flour into a bowl
  • Cube the butter and add to the flour.
  • Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles coarse breadcrumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining. Try to work quickly so that it does not become greasy.
  • Using a knife, stir in just enough of the cold water to bind the dough together.
  • Let the dough sit in the fridge for 15 minutes before rolling out
  • Half the dough and roll out one piece of dough to your desired thickness
  • Cut 8 base pieces (using a plate or saucer) from this rolled dough and place each into a large muffin tin
  • Fill each tartlet with apples and some sugar
  • Then use a cookie cutter to cut the lids for each of the tartlets and cover each tartlet.
  • Wash with some egg wash or milk. This helps to give the finished tartlets a lovely colour
  • Bake in the over for 25-30 minutes
  • Serve when cooled down
