2 tablespoon Natvia
50 mls coconut oil, melted
1 egg
0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
2 small apples, grated
70 g butter

- Preheat oven to 160°C Fan.
- For the filling, melt the butter together with the apple in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add the rest of the filling ingredients and heat through for a few minutes. Set aside while you prepare the pastry.
- For the pastry, combine the pastry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix by hand until it forms a soft dough.
- If needed, add a splash of water to help the pastry combine.
- Roll out between two sheets of baking paper, then cut into circles large enough to fit in the base and sides of your tart shells.
- Lightly grease your tart shells or small muffin tray, then dust the bottom with a bit of almond meal to prevent the shells sticking.
- Fill the shells with the filling mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 160C or until golden.
- Allow to cool before turning out of the tray.
