Traditional Canadian butter tarts with a delicious twist - dried cherries replace the standard raisins, and the optional melted toffee bits provide a sweet, chewy topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust , 15 ounce
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups melted butter
  • 0.75 cups dried cherries
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cups toffee baking bits , Optional

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.
