Ok- I get that this is portion control, and that's good. But aside form the apples this is NOT a healthy recipe! It's full of fat, simple carbs, and processed junk.	Submitted by: NANCYANNE55 (11/15/12) report inappropriate
I made these tonight with a few changes for my own taste and they were amazing! I didn't use the caramel sauce because i'm not a fan so i added cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla. I also cut the brown sugar and used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray. Cut the calories to 63 for two shells. =)	Submitted by: CLASSICASH (10/27/11) report inappropriate
WE HAVE GROW OUR APPLES SO I WILL DEFINALY TRY THIS. I WILL USE SPLENDA BECAUSE HUBBY AND CAN'T USE SUGAR. THANK YOU COULDN'T HAVE CAME AT A BETTER TIME	Submitted by: KAYLSLYNN (9/17/11) report inappropriate
I'm going to print this recipe out and give it a try with shortcrust pastry - a nice sweet treat for diabetic hubby. Braeburn apples will reduce the sugar required.	Submitted by: CMFARRELL36 (8/1/11) report inappropriate
This was extremely good! I did use the Splenda brown sugar blend and didn't have the caramel topping. Also, I use Macintosh apples. They are a little sweeter than the Grannysmith.	Submitted by: EBASSO88 (4/27/11) report inappropriate
I used parchment paper on the pan to avoid sticking.I also used "I can't believe it's not butter" spray-0 fat,0 calories, instead of butter. I chopped the apples, sprayed them, tossed with brown sugar and pie spices, put in shells and baked. This cut back on calories even more, & was still delish!!!

If you use a sweeter cooking apple, you won't need as much brown sugar, or the caramel topping.	Submitted by: AZURE-SKY (3/13/11) report inappropriate
I was able to make several modifications that would fit within my "diet budget". I used the brown Splenda, and sugar-free caramel sauce and everyone in the house loved it!	Submitted by: SKEETER13887 (2/4/11) report inappropriate
A few recipe modifications from a personal trainer: Butter - use half and the other half grapeseed or canola oil Ice cream - frozen yogurt instead Brown Sugar - Honey instead ADD a good amount of Cinnamon to counteract your body's insulin response and keep blood sugars more stable :)	Submitted by: KMILES (2/2/11) report inappropriate
I used Fuji apples, I had a ton left over. I think you could skip the butter & brown sugar, just soften up the apples. I added some cinnamon. I used just a drizzle of Hershey's caramel syrup, def less than 1 tsp each. My company enjoyed them, as they don't like really sweet stuff, these were light.

I would love to make this recipe with Agave and cinnamon instead of brown sugar. Would it work?	Submitted by: CHAYAG (1/18/11) report inappropriate
I tend to overdo desserts, but this helped keep my portion in an acceptable range. I Substituted Splenda for the brown sugar. Absolutely delicious!	Submitted by: GLORIAJEAN47 (12/29/10) report inappropriate
I made these with home made pastry, added apple pie spice & ground coriander (this spices doubles sweet tastes so you can use 1/2 the sugar). Also used dried apples from my own trees. They soaked up excess liquid & plumped up nicely.	Submitted by: TISHTISHX (12/28/10) report inappropriate
These were so delicous! Like another member I substituted splenda brown sugar for my diabetic mother's birthday treats! The candles fit in the tarts perfectly! Plus I did add cinanamon...YUM!	Submitted by: LEIGHANDREA (11/15/10) report inappropriate
I made them the other night. I swap out the phyllo pre made pie crust, which I rolled out and took a glass and cut circles and put into cupcake pans. I also added apple pie spice to the butter and sugar mixture . They came out great!!! Due to the swap with the crust had to bake for 30 mins.	Submitted by: PIAAAA (11/5/10) report inappropriate
These were absolutely delicious!!! I had WAY too much apple filling left over though, so next time I'll cut back the number of apples to 3 instead of 4. I would also recommend adding the brown sugar AFTER adding the apples because the sugar hardened when I added the apples.	Submitted by: A_BRICK (11/2/10) report inappropriate
Too much sugar	Submitted by: AJINT99 (11/2/10) report inappropriate
I made these today for a get together at my house. They were a hit! I just looked on the nutrition by ingredient page, though, and cinnamon was listed. Cinnamon isn't on the recipe page. I wonder if that would make them even better???	Submitted by: MARIADETWILER (9/18/10) report inappropriate
