Caramel Apple Tartlets

"One of my favorite fall activities is baking. Oh, who am I kidding? Baking is one of my favorite year-round activities! I love apples. I love caramel. But the combination of the two is definitely greater than sum of the individual parts. This past weekend, I hit the kitchen with the vague idea of a caramel apple pie in mind. However, I pulled an audible, and changed the pie to “mini” tartlets instead. (I say mini because I used an oversized muffin tin here. Laura and I ended up splitting these tartlets in half for dessert.)"
