Ingredients:

Mini Apple Tart with Cheese

For the Dough:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup butter
  • 4 cubes of cream cheese

For the Apple Mixture:

  • 2 large apples
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Cheese Mixture:

  • 4 cubes of cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or powdered vanilla if unavailable)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Topping:

  • 1 large can of blueberries

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • In a mixer bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, powdered sugar, egg, butter, and cream cheese cubes. Mix on medium speed for several minutes until you achieve a smooth dough.

  2. Shape the Dough:

    • Prepare mini cupcake molds. Form small balls from the dough, roughly the size of a walnut. Place each ball into a mold and press down with your finger, spreading the dough to cover the base and sides. Repeat until all the dough is used.

  3. Make the Apple Mixture:

    • Peel and grate the apples. In a medium pot, combine the grated apples, cinnamon, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat for a few minutes until the apple mixture dries out. Turn off the heat and distribute the apple mixture evenly among the molds.

  4. Make the Cheese Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, egg, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk with a hand whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the apple mixture in the molds.

  5. Bake the Tarts:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the tart molds on the middle rack and bake for 15-20 minutes until they turn light golden.

  6. Cool and Decorate:

    • Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool completely. Top with blueberries and serve immediately.

Enjoy your Mini Apple Tart with Cheese!
