Ingredients
Ingredients * PASTRY: * Refrigerated pie crust * FILLING: * 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, finely chopped * 1/2 cup raisins * 1/2 cup golden raisins * 1/4 cup sugar * 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted * 1 tablespoon lemon juice * 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon allspice * 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg * 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preparation
1. Working with refrigerated pie crust, use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles, reserving scraps. Gather scraps; roll out. Use the edge of a round cookie cutter to form small leaves. Score down center of leaves with a sharp knife to make decorative veins.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 8 cups of a nonstick 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Line cups with a circle of pastry, pressing dough into corners.
3. Make filling: Mix apple, all raisins, sugar, butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg in a bowl. Spoon evenly into pastry-lined muffin cups. Cover each with 1 or 2 pastry leaves. Lightly brush leaves and pastry edges with egg. Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack, then gently lift out tarts, transfer to rack and let cool completely.
