Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6

Ingredients

1 15-ounce package All Ready Pie Crusts (2 crusts)
2 teaspoons all purpose flour
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 tablespoons raisins
Vanilla frozen yogurt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter and flour six 4 1/2-inch-diameter tartlet pans with removable bottoms. Open crusts on floured work surface. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon flour. Press out cracks. Cut out six 5 1/2-inch rounds, using bowl or plate as guide. Transfer to prepared tartlet pans. Trim edges. Pierce all over with fork. Bake until light brown, piercing with fork after 5 minutes if bubbles form, about 10 minutes. Transfer to racks.

    Step 2

    Reduce oven temperature to 400°F. Combine sugar and corn syrup in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter and spices and stir until butter melts. Whisk eggs and vanilla in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in hot syrup.

    Step 3

    Place 2 tablespoons raisins in each tart. Divide syrup mixture among tarts. Bake until filling browns and puffs and top appears dry, about 20 minutes. Transfer racks; cool. Remove tarts from pans. Serve with frozen yogurt.
