Directions

1 Heat oven to 425°F. Unroll crust on work surface. Pat or roll into 12-inch circle. With 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 8 rounds from pie crust. Reserve dough scraps. Fit rounds into 8 ungreased regular-size muffin cups, gently pressing in bottoms and up sides; prick sides and bottoms with fork.
2 Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from muffin cups to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. With canapé cutter, cut 8 small autumn shapes from dough scraps that have been rolled together. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown.
4 Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together apple cider and cornstarch. In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter. Add cornstarch mixture and brown sugar. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in apple. Cool 10 minutes.
5 Fill tart shells with apple mixture. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Just before serving, top each tart with 1 tablespoon whipped topping and 1 cinnamon cutout. Cover and refrigerate any remaining tarts.

I made these for Thanksgiving this year and they were a huge hit! I heated them up in the microwave before serving. Everyone couldn't get enough of them. So easy to make!

If I could give this recipe a higher rating, I would! Wonderful! Made a quadruple batch for a baby shower. Topped them with a cinnamon teddy graham. Everyone loved them!
