Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons ice water
• 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (about 3 medium apples)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for streusel)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (for streusel)

How to Make Apple Crumble Tarts

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or tart pans with non-stick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the egg yolk and ice water to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. If needed, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and press them into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin or tart pans. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent bubbling.
5. In another bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the apples are well coated.
6. Fill each tart shell with the apple mixture, packing it in lightly.
7. For the streusel topping, combine ½ cup flour, ½ cup oats, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and cold butter in a bowl. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.
8. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the filled tarts.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the apple filling.
• Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a more complex flavor profile.
• Ensure your butter is cold for a flaky crust and crumbly topping.

Easy Variations

• Substitute pears or peaches for apples for a different fruit tart.
• Add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the streusel topping for added crunch.
• Drizzle caramel sauce over the tarts before serving for a decadent touch.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Whipped cream for a light and airy complement.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce or chocolate sauce for a sweet finish.
