Caramel Apple Mini Tarts

• 2 whole Pie Crusts, 9-inch Size
• FOR THE STREUSEL:
• 6 Tablespoons Butter
• 1/4 cups Flour
• 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cups Quick Oats
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 2 Apples
• FOR THE TOPPING:
• 1/4 cups Chopped Pecans
• 1/4 cups Caramel Ice Cream Topping

1. Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter, cut each pie crust into 6 circles. You may need to press extra dough together for final cut. Arrange pie crust circles on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
2. To make streusel, in a small bowl, cut butter into flour. Stir in brown sugar and oats.
3. Core and slice each apple into quarters (so you have 4 pieces). Then cut each quarter into thin slices making a half moon shape with each slice. Each slice should be about 1/8 inch thick.
4. Layer apple slices on pie crust, about 4 to 5 slices per circle. Slightly overlap slices so that most of the dough is covered.
5. Finely dice any extra apple slices and stir into streusel topping. This should be about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of diced apple.
6. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the streusel topping over the apples on each mini tart.
7. Bake at 375u0b0F for 10 minutes. Remove mini tarts from oven. Add 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans to each tart. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until crusts are slightly golden.
8. Remove mini tarts from oven and while warm drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of the caramel ice cream topping.
