- 500g / 18oz pie crust prepared or your favourite recipe
- 150g / 3/4cup brown sugar, packed
- 125ml / 1/2cup This is an affiliate link.maple syrup
- 75ml / 1/3cup butter melted
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 75g / 1/2cup raisins
- 60g / 1/2cup walnuts, chopped optional
Preheat your oven to 350F/180C.
In a medium bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, vinegar and salt and whisk until combined. Add raisins and chopped walnuts.
Roll out the pastry to a 1/3 cm/1/8" thickness and cut out rounds with a 10 cm/4" pastry cutter or use a glass. (My glass was 9 cm/3.5" in diameter) Line muffin tin cups with pastry rounds. Fill the muffin cups with the maple/nut mixture until 2/3 full.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the custard is set and the pastry is golden. Run a knife around the edges of the tarts as soon as you remove them from the oven to release them from the tin.
