Ingredients:(about 12 - 14)

3 cups Extra White Gold All Purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon apple vinegar
8 oz. (2 sticks) soft unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 cup Icey cold water

Filling:
1/4 cup apple pie filling (chop the apples)
or 
1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice/ cinnamon

5 tablespoons plant based milk or 1 egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)


How To make: 

• CRUST:
  
  
• To make the crust, whisk together the gluten free flour and salt. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized lumps form. Mix in the vinegar and water until combined.
• Divide the dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for an hour or overnight.
  
  
  
  To Assemble:
  
  
• To assemble the tarts, place one piece of the chilled dough on a floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/8" thick. Trim to a 9x12-inch rectangle.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes or cut into nine 3x4-inch rectangles. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
• Place shaped dough units  on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the non dairy milk or egg and brush over the surface of the crust. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling into the center of each piece.
• Carefully, place the remaining shaped dough on top, using a fork to seal well on all sides. Brush with milk or egg wash, then sprinkle with cane sugar. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool before frosting and decorating.
