“These adorable apple tarts have a buttery, crispy pastry with a massive amount of apple flavor, and they’re sweetened just enough with a touch of sugar and cinnamon. Your guests will think you bought them at a professional pastry shop, but trust me, someone who’s never baked before can create this beautiful dessert!” —John Mitzewich

Apple Tart with Almonds and Apricot Jam
Pat Bernitt
“I used my tart pan, since I seldom have a chance to use it, rather than a pie pan. My apples were small, so I ended up using three. Once the apples are sliced, this is a really easy dessert with lovely presentation, and the timing is spot on. Although the flavor was a bit weak, I think one ingredient could easily take this from 4 stars to 5 stars: cinnamon. Thanks for sharing your recipe.” —lutzflcat

Air Fryer Apple Dumplings
“First, it just doesn’t get much easier than this to put a tasty, warm dessert on the table. Made only one substitution, and that was using Craisins® instead of sultanas (didn’t have any). I would love to see a little cinnamon in there somewhere, maybe adding it to the brown sugar mixture, and I also can see some cheese on the inside top as another variation. But I’m not complaining, we enjoyed this.” —lutzflcat
