How to Make Apple Tassies

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and light.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a moist dough forms. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into approximately 1-teaspoon sized balls.
Press each ball into the cups of a mini muffin tin, forming a thin crust that goes up the sides slightly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples begin to soften.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spoon the apple filling into each tart shell, filling almost to the top but leaving a small space to prevent overflowing.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the tassies cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully releasing them with a small spoon or knife.
Drizzle with caramel sauce, dust with powdered sugar, or add a crumb topping (if desired) while still slightly warm. Serve and enjoy!
