Impatient Floret

Technically these are pies, since I closed the pastry around the filling, but tarts would be just as fine! 1 cup chopped walnuts 2 cups shredded apples (about 3) 1/2 tsp cinammon 1 tsp lemon buttery, flaky pie crust muffin pan Mix all well, spoon a good heaping 2 tablespoons in each mini, piecrust-lined cup.

Using mini muffin pan, you can make finger pasties of spinach: Cook 2 cups spinach with 4 oz silken tofu, 2 ounces diced cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 tsp of a few seasonings you like such as coriander, garlic, parsley, pepper, and turmeric. Spoon about 1 teaspoon in each mini crust-lined cup. You may want to add more to the top to fill it out such as crushed nuts or perhaps egg mixed with anoth

Makes a dozen. * The traditional version used cooked bread crumbs, no egg, double the sweetner (and all honey not agave and brown sugar), no baking powder, more cinnamon than ginger, pepper instead of cloves, no water, no butter, no vanilla, and saffron/cinnamon/sandalwood for colour. Another version planned with bread crumbs, but this is a good recipe because it is
