Such a fantastic recipe. Thank you! I made a few tweaks... to the apples, I added 1/2 tbsp each of vanilla extract and lemon juice and in place of all granulated sugar, used 1/2 granulated and 1/2 brown sugar. To the crumble mixture, I used 3 tbsp granulated and 1 tbsp brown sugar. I also added 2 tbsp quick oats after I had cut in the butter. They turned out absolutely divine!

Shelley you really should post more recipes as the ones I've tried for Spring PAC 2012 have been outstanding!! And this one is certainly not a disappointment. The tarts came out wonderful and made my kitchen smell like heaven. Plus they taste absolutely fabulous. Definitely a 5 star recipe!
