Ok, so these little jam tarts did not come out very cute. But they are very easy and tasty, so don't let their mangled little appearance deter you.
So the crust is a pie crust with cinnamon. I for some reason feel like I have never really had this before and I have absolutely no clue why. Cinnamon in crust is so amazing! It makes the pie crust taste like a flaky snickerdoodle cookie. Then you filling you pretty much don't have to do anything except get a jar of good jam? I like when good recipes are this easy.
So reason why these did not come out so cute. Because I put far too much jam in them. Martha's instructions called for something like 1 tbsp of jam (in the small ones, I made a few in a bit bigger pan than she called for). But the dough puffs up so much than you only need a ridiculously small amount of jam. The amount where you think, are these not even going to have a filling? But trust me, your will come out nice and pretty.

Martha is always right; I have learned the hard way at times, to never veer off course when it comes to Martha's recipes. These little gems have a face only a mother could love- but im sure the flavor is something everyone can get into!
I think these tarts look just wonderful. Just because they aren't tidy doesn't mean they don't look beautiful. Consider them 'rustic'. ;) I can't wait to try this recipe. I moving next month (out of state) and can use this recipe to finish off all the millions of 'almost' empty jars of jam I have in the fridge (my best friend is a canning fiend). Thanks!
this is an amazing, beautiful, simple and heartfelt video of a great idea. I'm such a fan of your work! I'd take a bite of dessert off a tree any day.
