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.

Made these today since I have so many ripe bananas, and I'm glad I did. Love them. They are more like muffin tops than cookies since it's more of a banana bread texture. I didn't use any extra sugar or cinnamon to coat the top....figured it will save me a few calories, and frankly it doesn't need it - 3/31/12

Delicious! (My husband wouldn't stay out of the batter-lol.) I mixed the shortening, vanilla and sugar for at least ten minutes before I got to light & fluffy (My mixer is very old). These were light, fluffy and possibly the best cookies I've ever had! Thank you! - 7/3/09

OMG!!!! These were unbelievably light, fluffy, and tasty! I've been looking for a banana cookie recipe for some time. After reading the last rating, I hesitated. When I decided to try these, I made sure to mix the batter really well-the cookies came out unbelievably delicious!!!!!! 5-star plus! - 7/1/09

Baked these tonight. While second sheet is baking hubby and I tried one and they are so delicious. We agreed to bypass the sugar/cinnamon sprinkling on top. I did 4 very ripe bananas, dash more cinnamon and drop more pure vanilla extract. This will be my go to instead of banana bread now.. - 11/22/15

A little flatter than I anticipated. Not the recipe that I wanted at all. They were ok, but I dont think I will make them again. - 6/30/09

Sorry your cookies came out flat. Mine always come out light and fluffy.You really need to mix the sugar and shortening until its fluffy.That is the only thing I can think of that might have messed up your cookies.

These are kid tested and approved. When my kids were young I found this recipe in a cookbook from the 1940's. I wanted something different to make and tried these. My kids and their friends would ask for these cookies. Now they're adults but they still want their banana cookies. - 2/20/13

We made these cookies while growing up. We called the Banana mountains. Test of a good cookie was sock it. If it sprung back then it was. - 2/9/13

My rating is zero because hydrogenated fat is used in the recipe which is not heart healthy.It alson has two eggs=560 mg cholesterol and lots of sugar. I am surprized that this recipe is featured on sparks. - 1/22/12

Love them! My new favorite cookie. I did mix the batter for awhile just to be sure. I brought them to a pot luck and they were a hit. These are so yummy! I had to leave some at home. Thanks for sharing! - 1/17/12

I made mine into bars, added 1/4 cup flax, 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, used half splenda, and egg substitute. They are fine in bar form. - 6/29/10

These cookies are dangerous!!! I made them last night to use up 3 ripen bananas, and I couldn't stop eating the batter! Then, I couldn't stop eating the cookies!! Oh and I also added chocolate chips to mine. I was 1.4 lbs heavier on scale this morning! Took all cookies to work today, No more! - 3/2/10
