Heart Tarts
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut out an even number of heart shapes.
- Beat one egg with one tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
- Very lightly brush the egg wash on half of the heart shapes.
- Put a small amount of filling in the center of the hearts you brushed with egg wash.
- Lay another heart shape on top and press gently to seal the edges. *Seal the inside point of the heart first to keep the filling in.
- Crimp the edges with the back of a fork.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until just starting to brown around the edges.
- Cool, frost, and decorate
Jam Filling:
- 3/4 c jam or jelly
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp water
Whisk together all ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat to boiling, reduce heat slightly, and simmer 2 minutes. Cool completely.
Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Add additional water if needed to make a smooth, creamy frosting. Pour into a piping bag (or into a ziploc bag and snip off the corner). Pipe a heart outline on each tart, allow to dry, then fill in the center. Sprinkle with decorations before the frosting hardens.
