Categories     Pies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened, plus more, melted, for greasing the pan
2 premade unbaked refrigerated pie crusts
1 1/4 c whole milk
1/2 c whole milk
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/2 c packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 medium bananas, thinly sliced into half-moons
thick caramel sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Grease a 12-portion nonstick muffin tin with melted butter.
  • 3. Cut circles out of the pie crusts using a 3 1/2-inch plain cutter and transfer them to the cups of the muffin tin.
  • 4. Press the dough evenly into the edges of each muffin cup, lining the sides.
  • 5. Whisk the milk, confectioners' sugar, egg yolks and egg together in a large glass measuring cup until smooth.
  • 6. Carefully pour the milk-sugar mixture into each crust, leaving 1/8 inch at the top.
  • 7. Bake in the center of the oven until the pastry begins to brown, the filling is set but still jiggles, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a tart comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • 8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
  • 9. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until completely melted.
  • 10. Stir in the butter and cinnamon until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • 11. To serve, arrange about 5 banana slices on top of each tart, overlapping them in a flower petal pattern.
  • 12. Serve the tarts immediately with caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my tarts came out of the oven looking like scrambled eggs. I'm not sure what happened.

These tarts are a great way to use up leftover bananas. I also like to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top when I serve them.

I've made these tarts several times and they're always a hit. I like to experiment with different fruits in the filling. I've tried berries, apples, and even chocolate chips.

I found that the recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the custard filling.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tarts didn't turn out as expected. The custard filling was too runny and the pastry shell was too tough.

I followed the recipe exactly and my tarts turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the caramel sauce.
