Grandma's Apple Charlottes

"My grandma used to make these for special occasions. I always asked her to make them for no reason but she said no. My dad said it's because she would always get frustrated with the dough and she hates to swear. I have no such issue and always remember to use lots of flour when rolling out the dough and have lots of wine available. It is so worth it when they are done. Fantastic tart."

  2. Yum, these tarts were delicious kmact. We enjoyed these little gems so much. They were awesome, beautiful cookie crust, crisp and tender all at the same time, filled with a lovely apple filling. I used homemade spiced applesauce, it worked perfectly in this dish. They were quick and so easy to make. We will be enjoying this treat often. Thanks so much for sharing, made for Fall Pac/12
