Tasty Turkey Day Treats

Since I am away from home this year, I had Thanksgiving over at my girlfriend's parents house. I didn't want to show up empty handed so I made some little apple and cherry tarts.

Here's the recipe which I nicked from Gregg Avedon's book, "Muscle Chow." I made some changes to it since I didn't have a pie pan, but I had some foil muffin sheets.


Ingredients:
8 sheets low-fat honey graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
2 cups quick oats
1 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 can no-sugar added apple fruit filling
1 can no-sugar added cherry fruit filling

How to make it:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, oats, cinnamon, and applesauce. Mix it up real good.

Step 2: Spoon the mixture into 2 muffin pans. Use the back of a fork to evenly form miniature pie crusts in each cup.

Step 3: Bake for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Spoon the fruit filling into each cup. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 5: Raise oven temperature to broil. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6: Let tarts sit for 15 minutes. Use a fork to remove from the pan.

I think they came out pretty good! And they are darn tastey and not THAT bad for you.
