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


Directions

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.
