Apple Pie Tarts

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

If you asked me a few years ago if I ever saw myself baking Apple Pie Tarts for my family on a Sunday morning, I’d laugh and go back to bed. Little did I know!

Recipe for Apple Pie Tarts taken from www.hookedonheat.com. Visit site for detailed recipe.

Little Dude, like me, has a prominent sweet tooth. We’re not ones for ice-cream and mithai, but give us a glimpse of a fresh-baked slice of cake, or any kind of baked good for that matter, and we’re game! For the past few years now, he’s been smitten by Apple Pie. And let me tell you, the kid is not biased. Be it a dome-high one baked with tons of butter by a loving grandma, or one packed in an ugly white cardboard box from the grocery store, or even the handheld ones in tiny green boxes that you get at McDonald’s, he enjoys them all! As long as there’s apple baked in with a bit of sugar and a dash of cinnamon, he’ll eat it.


I have always been one to openly admit that I’m not a baker. As much as I love and can happily survive on a steady diet of cakes, sweet treats and pillow-soft bread, I do not enjoy making them on my own. And yet, over the years, I’ve found myself try my hand at and even succeed in creating a few treats that have now become my go-tos.

This past weekend, which also happened to be Mother’s Day, I woke up with a strong desire to create something that would slightly in some way, resemble an Apple Pie. I knew I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen. I knew I wanted something quick and easy to repeat again another time when I felt like it. And I knew I wanted to use the frozen mini tart shells that were sitting in my freezer since the dawn of time.

These mini Apple Pie Tarts are perfect for a Sunday morning. They don’t take too long and I even had some filling leftover to top my oatmeal the next morning.

Talk about starting a Monday with a bang! If I can offer up some words of wisdom, I’d suggest making the filling in advance. When you’re ready to enjoy your Apple Pie Tarts, simply stuff the tart shells and bake them – and you’ll have them ready to devour in no time. I’ll definitely be making these more often and can’t wait to try them out at my next dinner party… whenever that may be!

All throughout high school, whenever I was asked w All throughout high school, whenever I was asked what I wanted to do when I got older, I always said “Write a Book!”. Not knowing how, when or even what it was going to be about, I just knew that was something I truly wanted. Little did I know that about a decade later I would have my very first cookbook in my hands. Then, exactly 9 years ago to this day I announced that I began working on my 2nd one. Today, I’m excited to let you know that I just signed my 3rd cookbook deal -  Vegan Indian Instant Pot, coming out later this Fall! #hookedonheat #HOHkitchen #foodblogger #cookbookauthor #foodwriter #indiancooking #veganfood #instantpot #cookbook
