*This recipe is so delicious! You can use any flavor of pie filling. The tarts will fall in the center...but that's ok! It makes the perfect cup to hold your pie filling! YUMMY!!! I like to add a tsp of almond extract to my pie filling, to give it a little extra something. When you see the hungry guy just click on the recipe title to be taken to a printable recipe card!
