Ingredients:
- 2 ½ cups of flour
- ½ cup of sugar
- lots of love
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 tbs. cinnamon
- 2 hugs
- 2 tbs. very, very, very cold water
- 1 tsp. Corn starch
- 6 granny apples
- 2/3 cup and 2 tbs. butter flavored Crisco
- high fives
- 1 dozen cupcake pan
Directions:
Begin by making the crust for the tarts:
- Have your kids add 2 cups flour, 2/3 cup and 2 tbs. butter flavored Crisco, 1 tbs. salt, and 2 tbs. water together. Have kids measure the ingredients and mix them all together in a big bowl using a fork! It’s fun, messy, and best of all – easy!
- Once your kids are done mixing, have them roll the dough into a ball and put in the fridge for about an hour. In the meantime…
Mixture:
- Kids can core apples and slice them up (using a safety apple coring tool), put them in a bowl with ½ cup sugar, and 1 tbs. corn starch.
Crumb topping:
- Kids will also measure out the rest of the sugar, flour, and melted butter and mix together.
Now for the final step – Kids will fill the cupcake pans with the crust then the apple filling topping it off with a sprinkle of the topping and Voila!
Bake the tarts at 400 degrees or until golden crispy and brown. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy the deliciousness of your work! Also, be sure to high five and hug those kids to commend them on a job well done!
