Granola Breakfast Tarts

with Sautéed Apples + Coconut Yogurt

Ingredients for the granola crust

Ingredients for the filling + apple pie topping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Prepare four small tart pans by greasing lightly with coconut oil. Set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granola, salt and cinnamon. Add the coconut oil and using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, work the coconut oil into the mixture until it comes together into a course meal with no dry flour remaining.

3.Divide the granola crust evenly between the four prepared tart pans and use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to press the crust evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pans.

4.Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and browned. Let cool completely. Store in the fridge until ready to eat.

5. When ready to eat, prepare the sautéed apples. In a medium pan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, pecans, vanilla bean powder, and salt. Sauté for 6-8 minutes or until apples are slightly softened but still crunchy (or until they’re all soft - whatever your preference is).

5. Immediately before serving, top each tart with ⅓ cup coconut yogurt. Top with sautéed apples. Crown with an extra whole pecan.
