I'm not much of a baker but I do keep pie crust and puff pastry in my freezer for those just-in-case moments. The other night, my neighbors Scott and Adam came over for the Mad Men finale (we're hooked) so I decided to make one of my favorite last minute desserts - apple tarts - to go with our usual wine & chocolate. This is a great way to use up those leftover pie crust scraps!

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden. Allow to cool a couple minutes before serving. You will have leftover pie crust scraps - just re-wrap and place in the freezer for next time!
I need to try these! ...and Mad Men is an excellent reason to make something tasty. So sad the season is over!
