Ingredients
- 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie dough out into a 12-inch circle.
- Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles.
- Place each circle in a muffin cavity, filling a 12-count muffin pan. Make sure each piece comes up the sides just a little bit, stretch the dough a bit if needed.

- Remove from the oven and cool the tarts in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove them and transfer them to a wire rack to cool the completely serving.
