Apple Halwa Tarts for Sweet Punch October 2011
Its Sweet Punch time!!! This time we baked Jam Tarts from Rias Collection. I have tried Apple halwa filling, instead of the Jam Filling. After Navarathri, we are leftover with so many Apples from the Thambulam bags, i keep making something with them. I have halved the original recipe. Warm Tart with Apple Halwa tasted heavenly. Hope you guys enjoy this!!!!

Method
- Sift together Flour, Salt and Baking Powder in a bowl.
- Cut the Butter into small pieces and rub into the flour. the flour will resemble bread crumbs.

- Roll out the dough in between Wax paper and Cut it into small rounds using a cookie cutter.
- Spread the Cut dough onto the tart-tin. Spoon in the filling and Bake in a Pre-heated Oven @ 180C for 18-20 minutes.
