Fruit Tarts

Ingredients:
  • 1 large tart apple (such as a Granny Smith)
  • 1 large pear
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup Madhava Natural Sweeteners Organic Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, chilled
Overview
Directions
  1. Peel and core apple and pear. Dice each into 1/4-inch pieces to yield about 2 1/4 cups diced fruit. Place diced fruit in a bowl. Add dried cranberries.
  2. Combine Madhava Natural Sweeteners Organic Coconut Sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over fruit. Gently stir until mixed. Set aside while preparing pastry tarts.
  3. Unroll pastry dough onto a flat work surface. Use a 3-inch circle cutter to cut dough. Press each dough circle into a cup in a mini-muffin pan to form a tart cup.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into each cup, stirring filling frequently to redistribute liquid. Excess liquid remaining in bowl can be discarded.
  5. Cut butter into 4 slices, then cut each slice into 8 cubes. Place a cube on top of each tart.
  6. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is browned and filling is bubbly.
  7. Cool in pan 1-2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

For extra yumminess, top each tart with sweetened whipped cream, or make it an a la mode treat with an Agave Ice Cream!
