Recipe: Apple Pie Tarts
Servings: 12 • Serving size: 1 tart
• 4 apples, peeled and sliced
• 6 tbsp water, divided
• ¼ cup raisins
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp cinnamon, divided
• 2 tsp corn starch
• 1 tbsp sugar (can use artificial
sweeteners)
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 6 phyllo dough pastry sheets
• 1 cup reduced-fat whipped
topping (optional)
1. In a large skillet, combine apples, 4 tbsp water, raisins, brown sugar, lemon
juice and ½ tsp cinnamon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cover
and cook 3-5 minutes or until apples begin to soften.
2. Mix remaining 2 tbsp water with cornstarch and add to skillet. Stir and cook
2-3 minutes until mixture thickens, then remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine remaining cinnamon and sugar.
4. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.

mixture. Repeat with remaining 5 phyllo sheets, stacking them on top of
each other.

the center of each stack square into prepared muffin cups, leaving the
corners standing up straight. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
