The Ingredients
For the tart crust:
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup of powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the pineapple filling:
1 can of pineapple chunks, drained and diced
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon of salt
The Method
Step 1: Make the tart crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until the dough comes together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles for the tart crusts.
Place the tart crusts in a greased mini tart pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 2: Prepare the pineapple filling
In a saucepan, combine the drained pineapple chunks, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 3: Assemble the tarts
Spoon the pineapple filling into the cooled tart crusts.
Place the tarts back in the oven for another 8-10 minutes to allow the filling to set.
Let the tarts cool before removing them from the pan.
