Toffee Cherry Butter Tarts Recipe

Toffee Cherry Butter Tarts Recipe

  • 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 (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray twelve 3-inch tart tins with cooking spray.
  2. Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surface and cut twelve 4-inch circles with a cookie cutter, rerolling scraps if necessary. Line tart tins with pastry circles.
  3. Beat eggs, brown sugar, vinegar, and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth; stir in melted butter, cherries, and walnuts. Fill tart shells 2/3 full with butter mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and continue baking until crust is golden and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
  5. Remove tarts from oven; sprinkle evenly with toffee bits. Return tarts to the oven; bake until toffee bits are just melted, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 15 minutes. Gently lift tarts from tins.
