1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
1 tablespoon sugar
Dash ground cinnamon
FILLING:
2 teaspoons butter
2 cups diced peeled tart apples
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons fat-free caramel ice cream topping
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crust, then cut the dough into twenty 2-1/2-inch circles. Press the circles onto the bottom and up the sides of miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
Prick the crusts all over with a fork to prevent your crust from bubbling. Spray the crusts lightly with cooking spray so the cinnamon sugar can adhere. Stir together the sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle the mixture all over the crusts.
Bake the caramel apple tartlet crusts until they’re golden brown, six to eight minutes. Let the crust cool at room temperature for five minutes before removing the tartlets from the pans and transferring them to wire racks.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter, then add the diced apples. Cook and stir the apples over medium heat until they’re crisp-tender, four to five minutes. Stir in the sugar, caramel topping, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, lemon juice and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and the apples are tender, about two minutes.
Take the saucepan off the heat and let the caramel apple filling cool at room temperature for five minutes. Spoon the filling into the tart shells. Serve the tartlets warm.
