Instructions
Crust Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place all crust ingredients in a food processor fitted with the s-blade and pulse for 15 seconds, or until there are no large chunks of nuts left. The nuts should be 1/8” or smaller in size.
Choose a serving/baking option:
Option A) “Tuffins”: tart/muffin hybrids:
Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners, preferably without ridges on the sides (I recommend PaperChef Large Parchment cups). Press a rounded tablespoon onto the bottom of each liner and more than halfway up the sides. Bake 10-13 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before filling.
CAREFULLY remove the paper liner. The crust should create a pie crust effect for the filling and you should have little mini pies.
Option B) One large tart:
Press crust bottom into the bottom of your (preferably) 9” round Pyrex and more than halfway up the sides.
Bake 10-13 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before filling.
Filling Instructions:
Combine filling ingredients. Pour into baked crust, not filling beyond the crust border, and bake an additional 25-35 minutes.
