4 Pumpkin and Apple Tarts for Dessert

Apples meet cinnamon and custard, while pumpkin gets a chocolate ganache filling. Choose your pastry, from shortcrust shells to puff pastry, with these four recipes.

Apple and Cinnamon Tartlets bring cinnamon's sweet spice to a creamy apple dessert. Each individual shortcrust shell holds custard, cream, and apples. Buttery pastry gives the soft filling a welcome contrast.

Pro tip: you can make both apple and pear tartlets to offer a choice of fillings.

Mini tarts with apple compote pair soft fruit with the nutty flavor of hazelnut flour. Their individual format makes them an elegant dessert to prepare for Mother's Day. Vanilla and lemon add delicate notes alongside the apple compote.

Pro tip: you can swap custard for the buttercream filling.

Pumpkin and Chocolate Tartlets balance pumpkin's delicate flavor with a rich ganache filling. Serve these individual treats as a snack for adults and children alike. Dark chocolate and cream give the filling its silky character.

Pro tip: you can flavor the ganache with orange zest or a few drops of liqueur.

Apple Puff Pastry Tarts tuck Fuji apples into buttery pastry with cinnamon and orange. Serve them with custard for dessert or enjoy them as an afternoon snack. Raisins bring sweetness, while pine nuts add crunch to the apple filling.

Pro tip: you can serve the tarts with vanilla ice cream instead of custard.
