Even though I was only assigned mashed potatoes and corn for the Thanksgiving feast, I got ambitious and decided to make some Apple Toffee Tartlets. The recipe called for normal ingredients; apples, brown sugar, butter, flour, etc, as well as a couple out-of-the-norm ingredients; refrigerated pie crusts, toffee pieces. Well, turns out that since I NEVER cook or bake, I had a big grocery run to do. The good news is that I will have flour, sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar for the rest of my single life. :) However, I couldn't find toffee pieces, so I spent a good 10 minutes this morning hammering (yes, with a hammer) Werther's Original candies into tiny crumbles. I bet the people downstairs really LOVED that. Oooh, and I even bought a rolling pin and one of those cool apple corer/slicer thingies. I sure am moving up in the cooking world! (But still much more comfortable working with tools and building things)
Anyway, I was pretty happy with the result! And even more happy that a couple of them broke apart so I could sample without guilt. YUM!!

Yum! They look beautiful. Wish I were there and I would sample them without guilt. :)
I did sample them without guilt. I especially sampled them the day after Thanksgiving for breakfast. They were yummy all warmed up. Yeah for Emily cooking things!
What about the "tart" underneath the cap????? Who is that beauty? I'd say "yummy" fits all around!!! What do you think? ..... bb
