Mini Apple Tarts

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

I added crushed up oreos to it to make the grey fur for a kitten cake for my daughter's b-day. She loved it! :) - 9/17/11

VERY yummy recipe! I made pretty springtime flowers in the buttercream. My only complaint is that I should've halved the recipe, as I only had 12 cupcakes to decorate. I'll learn for next time though! - 3/23/11
