Sugar Free Apple Tarts

 
This recipe is also a vegan apple tart recipe.

There is no added sugar and no added dairy products in this apple dessert recipe.
 

Did you try my recipe for a crustless apple pie with no added sugar?

That recipe is another great way to enjoy a baked apple dessert but, without the added sugar.
However, this baked apple dessert recipe is made in individual servings while that pie recipe is for an entire 'pie'.

This recipe calls for sliced apples that are shaped as a rose. To do this you will need to slice the apples very thin. I suggest using a mandoline slicer to make apple slices that are no larger than ¼" wide.

 

You may be wondering how is this a 100% sugar free tart.

Apples do have natural sugar in them.
There are about 19 grams of natural sugar in the average apple.

However, according to the experts, apples the glycemic effects are low.

This means, according to the experts, apples have a small effect on blood sugar.
Even better, apples are a great source for fiber and Vitamin C.

 

These apple tarts with puff pastry are really easy to make.

.
This is partially because instead of using a pie crust, we are using puff pastry .
The puff pastry will serve as kind of a cup to hold the apple sliced.

Puff pastry that is vegan is not hard to find and is in most grocery stores.
I suggest reading the labels on the puff pastry packaging.
Look for ingredients such as eggs or the source of the fat that is used to make it.

 

Here are some tips for making mini apple tarts.

Using frozen puff pastry is fine for this recipe.
I suggest thawing the vegan puff pastry for at least two hours before making this recipe.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. While this is a vegan recipe, feel free to make this non-vegan. You can simply use a regular puff pastry rather than a vegan kind.
2. This recipe calls for ground cinnamon. Feel free to personalize your apple tarts by using other seasonings such as apple pie spice.
3. Drizzle some caramel sauce on top using this recipe for sugar free caramel sauce. Here is a recipe for how to make vegan caramel sauce.

 

You may be wondering what is a good substitute for puff pastry.

Using a vegan pie crust is one option. You will need to roll the pie crust out and then cup it into smaller sizes.

How to prepare the apples for individual apple tarts

First off, the best kind of apples to use in this recipe are the firmer and more tart apples.
This includes Granny Smith, Jonathan Gold, Honeycrisp, and even McIntosh would work in this recipe.

Here is how to prepare the apples.

I like to first wash my apples since we are keeping the skin on them.
Then use a mandoline or similar items to slice the apples as thin as possible (less than ¼").
 

Ingredients needed to make

• Vegan Puff Pastry- 1 sheet.
• Apples-2, medium sized. Suggested varieties listed above. The apples should also be sliced as indicated above.
• Lemon Juice- ½ lemon (about 2 ½ tablespoons). Please use fresh lemon juice or lemon juice with no added sugar.
• Ground Cinnamon- 1 tablespoon.
• Sugar Alternative- 2 tablespoons. You can use a brown sugar alternative or white alternative. Please use the equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Optional- sugar free powdered sugar for dusting.

 

How to make Apple Tarts with No Added Sugar.

 

• Remove the puff pastry from the freezer at least two hours ahead of making this recipe to thaw out. Also, prepare the apples as indicated above.
• Place the apples in a mixing bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Then add the ground cinnamon and the sugar alternative and lightly toss again.
• Transfer the apple mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the apples until softened, about 10-12 minutes. You will need to gently mix or flip the apples a few times to avoiding burning. Once the apples have softened, you can remove them from the heat.
• Next, preheat the oven to 375 and prep a muffin pan for nonstick.
• To prepare the pastry puff, roll it out on a flat and clean surface. Then cut the puff dough into five strips. One the bottom half on the long sides of each of the strips you can arrange the cut apples. Allow about a half inch of each apple piece to hang outside of the dough. Then fold the empty side of the dough up roll up the pastry sheet to form the rose. Place in a muffin cup for baking.
• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Then remove the tarts from the oven, let cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar(optional).
