Apple Tassies Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Tassies

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• Green Apples
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to Make Apple Tassies

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