Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare phyllo pastry: Lay a single sheet of phyllo pastry on a cutting board. Brush it with half of the butter.
-
Cut and shape: Using scissors, cut the pastry crosswise into three 5-inch wide strips. Fold each strip into thirds to form a square shape. Then, round off the corners gently.
-
Mold pastry: Gently mold each square of pastry into muffin cups, using a pan that makes 6 muffins. Repeat this process with the other sheet of phyllo pastry.
-
Bake: Place the prepared pastry shells in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
-
Cool and remove: Allow the baked pastry shells to cool slightly, then carefully remove them from the pan and set them aside.
-
Prepare apple filling: In a nonstick frying pan, combine the brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to bubble.
-
Cook apples: Add the sliced apples to the bubbling mixture in the pan. Cook them, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until they become tender. Let the apple mixture cool slightly.
-
Fill the tarts: Carefully spoon the cooked apple mixture into the pastry shells, distributing it evenly among them. Sprinkle sliced almonds over the apple filling.
-
Garnish: Sift the icing sugar over the filled tarts for a sweet finishing touch.
-
Serve: These Quick and Easy Apple Tarts are best served warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
