Ingredients

  • 1 can canned biscuits
  • 1 quart unsweetened applesauce
  • 10 packs Equal (NutraSweet)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon allspice

Instructions

  1. Roll biscuits out thin.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of applesauce in the middle of each dough circle.
  3. Fold dough over the filling and crimp edges with a fork.
  4. Fry the tarts with butter in a pan on top of the stove until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a flaky crust, roll the biscuits as thin as possible. If you prefer a sweeter filling, consider adding a touch of sugar or using sweetened applesauce instead. Don’t have Equal? You can substitute with your favorite sweetener, adjusting to taste. If you want a unique twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or using a mix of spices like in American recipes for an added depth of flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These apple tarts make a delightful dessert on their own but can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Serve them warm for the best experience. They also work well as a sweet snack alongside a cup of coffee or tea, perfect for an afternoon treat.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through and crispy. Alternatively, you can pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, which helps retain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh apples instead of applesauce?

Yes, you can definitely use fresh apples! Simply peel, core, and slice them thinly, then sauté them with a bit of cinnamon and sweetener until tender. This will add a lovely texture and fresh flavor compared to applesauce.

How can I make these tarts healthier?

To make these tarts healthier, consider using whole wheat biscuits or a low-carb biscuit alternative. You can also reduce the sweetener or opt for natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Incorporating some chopped nuts into the filling can also add healthy fats and a crunch.

What can I do with leftover tarts?

Leftover tarts can be enjoyed cold or reheated as mentioned earlier. You can also crumble them over yogurt or oatmeal for a delicious breakfast option. If you want to get creative, chop them up and mix them into a fruit salad for added flavor.
