    List of Ingredients




    Caramel Apple Tarts with Cinnamon Cutouts


    1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz box), softened as directed on box
    1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
    Dash of ground cinnamon
    3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/4 cup butter or margarine
    1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    1 medium tart apple, chopped
    1/2 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

    Recipe




    1. Heat oven to 425°. Unroll crust on work surface. Pat or roll into 12-inch circle. With 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 8 rounds from pie crust. Reserve dough scraps. Fit rounds into 8 ungreased regular-size muffin cups, gently pressing in bottoms and up sides; prick sides and bottoms with fork.


    2. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from muffin cups to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.


    3. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. With canapé cutter, cut 8 small autumn shapes from dough scraps that have been rolled together. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.


    4. Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together apple cider and cornstarch. In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter. Add cornstarch mixture and brown sugar. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in apple. Cool 10 minutes.


    5. Fill tart shells with apple mixture. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Just before serving, top each tart with 1 tablespoon whipped topping and 1 cinnamon cutout. Cover and refrigerate any remaining tarts.
