Apple Tarts

This week we made Apple Tarts. They're very easy to make and the kids loved them. I found my recipe on a website called The Kitchn. (We altered ours by doing just apples with no sugar on top and they were still delicious. Although if you want to do that I recommend a good naturally sweet apple like Galas.)
My notes will be in bold.

Small lump of pie dough, well-chilled (We used refrigerated pie dough from the supermarket)
1/4 small, sweet apple
1/2 tablespoon butter
Brown sugar
Freshly ground cinnamon
Heat the oven to 425°F. Roll out the pie dough and cut into small rounds or other shapes with biscuit or cookie cutters. (Using the rim of a cup works nicely as well.) Core the apple quarter and shave into very thin slices with a chef's knife. (We just cut ours up into smaller chunks and it worked well also.) Top each pie dough round with several slices of apple, overlapping slightly. Shave a tiny thumbnail of butter off and top each pie round with a bit of butter, a sprinkle of brown sugar and a dusting of cinnamon.
Bake at 425°F for about 15 minutes, or until apples are slightly reduced and pastry is firm and golden.

The children, for this recipe, cut out their own personal tart using a cup, and then put as many pieces of apple on theirs' as they wished.
