Apple Tarts

Easy apple tart. Low fat and yummy.

Crust:
1.75 C. all purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs unsalted butter, chilled, and cubed
3/4 c. OJ

Filling:
3 granny smith apples, peeled and chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp flour
1/4 c. sugar (part brown, part white)

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour 12 small tart pans or a 12-cupcake pan. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With pastry blender or large fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in OJ to form dough. Set aside.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle about 1/4-1/8 inches in thickness. Fit each piece into tart pan/cupcake pan.

Make filling by mixing apples, cinnamon, sugar, and 1 tsp flour. Fill each crust with 1 heaping tbsp of apple filling.

Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 15-20 minues. Let sit in tart pan for 10- 15 min to cool. Move to wire racks.
