How to Make Canadian Maple Butter Tarts

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 package (14.1 oz) of refrigerated pie crust to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or glass to cut out 12 circles.
Gently press the pastry circles into a 12-cup muffin tin or tart pan.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup raisins and/or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts into the bottom of each tart shell.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Pour the maple custard mixture into the tart shells, filling them about 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the tarts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
