  3. Now fill this cups with apple cinnamon filling. Then take a bigger lemon sized dough and roll it like a chappathi again and cut them in to thin strips. Decorate the top of the tart as shown in the picture. Seal them properly at the edges and brush it with milk.
  4. Preheat oven for 350 F or 180 C, bake for 25 to 30 mins or until the crust is golden color. Mine took 25 mins to cook and you have to check in between whether it is done or not. Tasty mini apple cinnamon tart is ready to serve.

Notes:

  • Dough should be crumbly not a smooth dough. So add water as required for crumbly dough. Cold water is a must ingredient in this recipe.
  • Salt is optional in this recipe but adding it brings out the exact flavor to this recipe.
  • Brushing dough with milk that gives a nice golden brown color to the crust.
  • You can serve mini apple cinnamon tart with vanilla ice cream on top.
