2. Measure ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon and 1 tablespoon flour in a measuring cup and stir to mix. Add to apples, stir and bring to a gently boil. Let boil over medium hear for 5 more minutes stirring occasionally until thickened and syrupy.Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Crumble Topping

Assembly and Baking Tartlets

1. Preheat oven to 375' F
2. Lay tart shells evenly on a large thin baking sheet. Scoop apple filling evenly into all 24 shells (approx. 1.5 tablespoons of filling in each) and gently smooth down. Top with a heaping teaspoon of crumble topping on each.
3. Bake 25-30 minutes until tarts are lightly browning and pastry shells are cooked through. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. These can be eaten warm or at room temperature. Apple crumble tartlets are delicious on their own or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or vanilla whipped cream.
