Cherry Toffee Butter Tarts
Ingredients
  • 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crust
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup toffee baking bits
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
To prevent the tins from sticking, lightly spray twelve 3-inch tart pans with a non-stick cooking spray.
3
Using a rolling pin, roll out the pie crust dough on a surface dusted with flour and cut twelve 4-inch circles using a cookie cutter. If you need to reuse the dough, simply roll it out again.
4
Carefully line each tart pan with a pastry circle, making sure they fit snugly inside.
5
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined; then stir in melted butter, cherries, and walnuts. Fill the tart shells with the butter mixture, leaving about 1/3 of the shell empty.
6
Place the filled tart shells in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
7
Reduce the oven temperature to a moderate heat of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and continue baking until the pastry crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, taking around 20 minutes.
8
Remove the tarts from the oven; sprinkle them evenly with toffee bits.
9
Return the tarts to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the toffee bits are just melted.
10
Allow the tarts to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
11
Gently remove the tarts from their pans and serve.
