Ingredients

  • 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Dash ground cinnamon
  • FILLING:
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 cups diced peeled tart apples
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons fat-free caramel ice cream topping
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough; cut into twenty 2-1/2-in. circles. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of 20 miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Prick crusts with a fork. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over crusts.
  2. Bake until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add apples; cook and stir over medium heat until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in sugar, caramel topping, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and apples are tender, about 2 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into tart shells.
