How to Make Apple Cider and Cheddar Tartlets





Ingredients

2 large granny smith apples, cored, peeled and finely diced.
1/2 tea spoon ground cinnamon 
2 tea spoons butter (unsalted)
2 tea spoons cider vineger (10 ml)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
1/2  or 200g puff pastry thrawed (very cold)
4 cup sweet apple cider
Small amount of Flour for rolling pastry

Step1: 

Preheat over to 200'C/400'F






















Step2: Melt Butter (unsalted) in a large Saucepan 

  • Add in 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar into the butter and stir until the butter is smooth. Add in the apple pieces and cook on medium-low heat until the apple pieces are slightly softened yet retain their shape. This should take approximately 6 minutes.
  • Stir 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon into the apple mixture. Move the mixture to a small bowl and set aside.


Step3: Using the same saucepan, mix together the apple cider, cider vinegar and the remaining brown sugar and ground cinnamon and heat on medium until the brown sugar dissolves.

Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer until the cider mixture is syrupy and reduced to about 3/4 cup. This should take approximately 25 minutes.


Step4: Sprinkle some flour onto a smooth surface and roll out the puff pastry into a square.

Using a knife or pizza wheel, cut the pastry into 12 rectangular pieces by slicing 4 horizontal rows and 3 vertical rows.

Place the pastry pieces into a greased muffin tin. Be sure to grease both the bottoms and sides of a cup.

Use a fork to prick the bottoms of the pastry piece a few times.
Spoon cooked apple into the pastry cups.



Step5: Bake for 15 minutes/ until golden brown
