Fruit Tarts

Print Recipe

Makes 4 sandwich tarts

Ingredients

8 slices firm bread - white, wheat, or sweet such as raisin or cinnamon swirl
8 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
4 tablespoons canned fruit pie filling (apple, cherry, peach, blueberry)

Instructions

1. Preheat Cuisinart® Griddler® fitted with the griddle plates in the closed griddle position to 350°F. Spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Top the unbuttered side of two slices with half the pie filling each. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
   
2. Place the sandwiches on the bottom griddle plate and close. Cook until the green indicator light comes on again. Remove "tarts" and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving. (Filling will be very hot.) Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a favorite ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Fruit Danish Variation:
Combine 3 ounces light or regular cream cheese with 2 tablespoons liquid pasteurized egg product (such as EggBeaters®), 2 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Spread mixture on unbuttered side of 4 slices of buttered bread. Top each with 2 tablespoons fruit pie filling and remaining slices of bread, butter side up. Place on preheated sandwich grill and cook until green indicator light comes on. If using cherry filling, you may also add 1 tablespoon chocolate chips.
