Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

On a smooth surface lightly dusted with cocoa, roll pie dough to a ¼-inch (⅔ cm) thickness. Cut 12 rounds using a 4½-inch (11½ cm) round cookie cutter, re-rolling scraps if needed. Gently press rounds into a 12-cup muffin pan. Refrigerate for 20 mins.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together Redpath® Dark Brown Sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, vinegar, and salt until well mixed. Pour in melted butter and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Divide chocolate chips and dried cranberries evenly between the refrigerated tart shells. Carefully fill shells two-thirds full with the butter tart mixture.

Step 5

Place muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until filling is puffed and bubbling, rotating pan halfway through baking time. Remove from oven and let stand on rack for 10 minutes. Run a small metal offset spatula around tarts to loosen; carefully slide spatula under tarts and transfer to rack to cool completely.
