Apple Pie Tarts

Shannon our new DIL requested some apple cookies she had seen ! ! I promised her I’d have them the next time they came for dinner which was tonight. Since it is December and I was wanting to bump them up a notch, I used minI gingerbread boys and Christmas tree 🌲 cookie cutters for the pie crusts for the top decor!

Using a can of apple pie filling, I emptied the can of fruit into a saucepan! Adding 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, I chopped up the apple slices into small pieces! Cook over low heat heat until butter is melted and cinnamon is mixed with the chopped apples. Using a glass or biscuit cutter, cut circles of pie crust and press into cupcake (muffin) pans. Fill pie crust with about 1 heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture. Top with pie crusts and sprinkle with colored sugar! Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for about 25 min or until crusts are done ! Before serving, drizzle a little caramel over the top. Serve warm!
