Says field editor Kim Marie Van Rheenen of Mendota, Illinois, "These tasty little tarts are nice for a family, kids love having their own tiny pies. For company, I use a variety of fillings and arrange them on a pretty platter."

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (21 ounces) raspberry, cherry or strawberry pie filling

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour and mix well.
  2. Shape into 1-in. balls; press onto the bottom and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups.
  3. Bake at 300° for 17-22 minutes or until set. Cool for 15 minutes before carefully removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Spoon 1 teaspoon of pie filling into each tart.
