Mini Apple Tartlets

This is my second attempt at baking Apple Pie/Tarts.

The first attempt were 'Mcdonald' style pies but somehow, there was too much pastry.

Hence, this miniature version!

This project takes about 2.5 hours and costs about $20. 

This project yields about 12 mini tartlets.

Mini Egg Tarts

This is my first attempt at Mini Egg Tarts!

Egg tarts have always been one of my favourite snacks and since it didn't seem that difficult to bake, I gave it a try! I must say that it's pretty simple to prepare, though time consuming. 

I spent about 15 bucks for this project that takes 2 hours.

I used two tart moulds: the disposable ones I used in the Mini Fruit Tarts and even tinier ones Phoon Huat.

(5.90 for 12 mini reusable moulds!)
