Apple Walnut Tartlets

By Milena Manolova Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

Tartlets are such an excellent option for making individual portions. And this Apple Walnut Tartlets recipe is also very easy to make. I love the combination of walnuts and apples, with the flaky crust, just perfect!

Six Apple Walnut Tartlets scattered around with pieces of fresh walnuts all around. Wooden honey dipper on the bottom right corner.

All you need are simple ingredients, you most likely have already in your pantry. And if you don’t, your nearest shop probably does. The crust can’t be any easier: flour, butter, salt, sugar, and a bit of water. Filling: walnuts, honey, apples, and cinnamon. And you are ready to roll!

I made it even easier for you by showing you step-by-step shots of the process. I am more of a visual person, so seeing how something is made makes it that much easier than just reading about it. So here it is!

  • Flour and cubed butter in a glass bowl. Butter and a knife laying on a plastic wrap. Mini metal tartlets forms laying on the side of the bowl.
    Mix flour and cold butter.
  • flour and butter mixed together in a glass bowl.
    The consistency of the flour butter mix
  • Dough in a glass bowl.
    Dough
  • Dough on parchment paper.
    Wrap dough in parchment paper.
  • Chopped walnuts on a wooden board with a knife next to them.
    Chop the walnuts.
  • Chopped walnuts on a wooden board.
    The size of the chopped walnuts
  • Glass bowl with shopped walnut honey mix and a yellow spatula.
    Mix honey and chopped walnuts
  • Apple slices on a cutting board with a knife leaning on the side. Half apple on the left side of the board.
    Thin slice the apples.
  • Glass bowl with sliced cinnamon apples.
    Mix the apples with cinnamon.

When you are mixing the flour and butter make sure the butter is very cold. Also, your hands should be cold too. Another option is mixing the flour and butter on a flat surface by using a cold knife. You would chop the butter into the flour and use your hands only at the end when adding the cold water and forming a disk.

I chop the walnuts pretty fine but you can also use a food processor or blender. It will work just fine. The apple slices are also very thin, about an 1/8 inch (2-3mm).

  • Sliced dough and a knife next to it, on top of a parchment paper.
    Shape the dough into a log.
  • Six tartlet forms, two of them already have the dough pre-shaped in them. Sliced dough in the center of the forms, all laying on a parchment paper. One fork on top right side. On the left top side there is a knife a cup with melted butter and a brush on top, rolling pin next to the knife. On the bottom right side a glass bowl with sliced apples in it. Wooden cutting board partially visible on the left side with apple pieces on it.
    Fill each form with the pre-sliced dough.
  • Six tartlet shells on a wooden cutting board. Glass bowl on the left side with chopped walnut honey mix and a spoon. Bigger glass bowl on top side of the board filled with sliced cinnamon apples.
    Poke holes in the dough crust.
  • Six Apple tartlets on a wooden cutting board. Glass bowl on the left top side next to the board filled with sliced cinnamon apples. Parchment paper under the wooden board.
    Filled the forms with the walnut honey mix.
  • Six Apple Walnut Tartlets laying on a wooden cutting board ready to bake.
    Topped them with the sliced apples.

After the dough has chilled in the freezer, pre-shape it into a log, about 7 inches long (18cm). Then slice it into six pieces, about 11/4 inch(3cm) each. With the melted butter I butter the forms just in case they don’t stick to the tartlets. Press each piece into the form and poke the bottom with a fork. The size of my tartlet forms is 3 inches(7-8m).

When I fill them with the walnut honey mix I press it well so I have space to add the apples on top. Last step we add the sliced apples on top and sprinkle them with sugar. Move them back in the freezer for another 10-15min. And they are ready to bake.

I also lay the forms on a baking tray, not only because it’s easy to transfer, but also it creates another layer on the bottom so they don’t burn. I bake them for about 30min, but depending on your oven they can be ready sooner. Check on them in 20min if the apples are starting to brown and the edge of the crust is getting golden, they are ready. Let them cool a little before you take them out of the forms. I also like to drizzle them with extra honey on top!

Three mini Apple Walnut Tartlets, fresh walnut pieces scattered around. Wooden honey dipper in the bottom left corner.

What I really like about these Apple Walnut Tartlets is that they are not too sweet, just the perfect amount. Of course, you can make them sweeter if you like. But don’t forget you can add more honey on top too.

So here you have it!

“Flaky buttery crust. Crunchy walnut honey filling with the cinnamon apples and extra honey on top!!! Match made in heaven!

Four mini Apple walnut tartlets, walnut pieces scattered around. Wooden honey dipper on the right bottom corner.

If you like this recipe you can also try these Rugelach Cookies or the Chocolate Banana Cream Pie. They are some of my favorites!

And also I will really appreciate if you leave a comment bellow letting me know if you have tried it or have any questions.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 6 3 inch (7-8cm)forms
Author Milena M

Ingredients

  • 150 g AP Flour
  • 1/4 t Salt
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 70 g Cold Butter
  • 30 g Melted butter for the apples
  • 3-4 tbsp Ice cold water
  • 50 g Walnuts
  • 25 g Honey
  • 1/2 Apple
  • 1/2 t Cinnamon for the apples

Instructions

  1. Sift the flow into a bowl. Add the salt and sugar. Mix.

  2. Chop the butter into cubes.

  3. Mix the butter with the flour using your hand. Work quickly, you don't want the butter to get too soft. It's ok if you have bigger pieces of butter, the texture should be somewhat coarse. Add the cold water to the mix, a little at a time. You just need enough for the mixture to come together and hold a shape.

  4. Press the dough into a disk about 1 inch(2½cm) thick. Wrap it in parchment paper and transfer it to the freezer for about 20-30min. Till almost frozen but still being able to shape it.

  5. While the dough is chilling, chop the walnuts and mix with the honey. Set aside.

  6. Pre-butter the tartlets forms with a little bit of the melted butter. The size of the forms is 3 inches(7-8cm)

  7. Slice the apples and mix with the melted butter and cinnamon. Set aside.

  8. When the dough has chilled. Take it out and shape it into a log.

  9. Pre-heat the oven to 180C (350F).

  10. Cut the log into 6 pieces about 1¼(3cm) thick.

  11. Press each dough piece into the forms. Poke the bottom of the dough with a fork.

  12. Fill the forms with the walnut honey mix, by pressing it down firmly.

  13. And top them off with the sliced apples. Sprinkle sugar on top. I like to use brown sugar, but any type will work.

  14. Arrange them into a baking tray and bake for about 30min on the middle rack. Once the edges of the tartlets are turning golden and the apples are starting to brown, they are ready.

  15. Pull them out of the oven and let them cool for few minutes before you remove the forms.

  16. Drizzle with extra honey on top and enjoy!

New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! This Cardamom Golden Raisin Scones! I love this flavor combination, cardamom and golden raising just go together so well. 
Who else likes cardamom? I think it has very unique and distinctive taste. Adding too much of it can overwhelm a dish, so need to be careful with that. But the right amount will make it so tasty!! 

What do you think 👍or 👎for cardamom? And why?

I hope you like is as much as I do, and go make this scone recipe. Its easy and delicious!!

Today is one of those days when I don't want to do Today is one of those days when I don't want to do anything but just lay in bed and watch movies. 
But, I still have to finish few things. 
When it comes to movies do you like watching animations? I do😁, I think there are a lot of great movies out there. But I also like watching some classic cartoons from when I was a child. Looney  Tunes was my favorite! Also Ну, погоди, which is a Russian cartoon about a wolf and a rubbit. The Flintstones is also great! 

How about you? Do you have a favorite childhood cartoons?

For this #eatcaptureshare theme I'm going with this mini pies inspired by Snow White famous pie scene.

Hi friends, how are you today? I'm sharing today Hi friends, how are you today?

I'm sharing today some product shots I did outside few days ago. Its nice to change the environment ones in a while and get away from the usual places we are used to. 
I found this spot few weeks ago when I was taking a walk with Juno and I new I wanted to shoot there. I love the different textures from the rocks, it creates the perfect background! 
I'm always looking for locations and interesting places where I can create and try something different. Its refreshing and makes you see light different ways.

Today was such a nice day, felt like spring. Had t Today was such a nice day, felt like spring. Had the door to the balcony open, with fresh breeze and sunlight coming through. 

I did the photoshoot for an Orange Mascarpone Cake, which recipe is coming very soon and its divine! 

The next #eatcaptureshare theme had to be inspired by nature and since I've been thinking a lot about summer lately, I thought this beautiful basket of fruits is the perfect representation of all the food mother nature is providing us with. And now I really can't wait for summer!!
