Wow, these tasted very good! I didn't have mini muffin pans so I used a regular tartelette pan and got four of these wonderful treats out of the recipe. The dough was so easy to work with and the whole recipe came together so quickly. My tarts had to bake a little longer than stated, but that was probably because mine were bigger. For the filling I used fresh squash which I had boiled for 25 minutes and then mashed. Instead of pumpkin pie spice I used cinnamon cause that's what I had on hand. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely recipe, Chef~V! I can't wait to make them again. And I think I might try a vanilla filling next time...
