Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crust
2 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup melted butter
¾ cup dried cherries
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup toffee baking bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray twelve 3-inch tart tins with cooking spray.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

I'm not a huge fan of cherry desserts, but these tarts were really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and delicious. The toffee bits added a nice crunch and the cherries gave it a tart flavor.
