Taffy Apple Tartlets - Pampered Chef - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts
2 large granny smith apples, peeled
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel sauce, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, softened according to package directions (2 crusts)
12 caramels, unwrapped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F
Chop peanuts using Food Chopper; set aside for later use.
Cut peeled apples lengthwise into quarters using Utility Knife. Lay each quarter cut side down; angle knife, cut out and discard core. Coarsely chop apples with Food Chopper. Combine apples, 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce and flour in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well using Small Mix 'N Scraper(R). Microwave on HIGH 5-6 minutes or until bubbling and thickened; stir and set aside.
Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust onto lightly floured Cutting Board. Spacing closely together, cut 12 disks from crust using outer tube of Measure-All(R) Cup (nine around outside edge and three in center). Press disks into wells of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan using Mini-Tart Shaper, ruffling edges. Repeat with remaining crust.
Cut caramels in half using Utility Knife; place one piece into each tart shell. Spoon apple mixture evenly into tart shells; sprinkle with peanuts. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges of tartlets are golden brown. Remove tartlets from pan to Stackable Cooling Rack. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Serve warm.
Cook's Tip: To easily drizzle caramel sauce over tartlets, place resealable plastic bag into Measure-All(R) Cup. Pour caramel into corner of bag. Twist top of bag; secure with Twixit! Clip. Cut corner off tip of bag to allow caramel to flow through.
