Mini Lemon Tarts in a Graham Cracker Crust

These mini tarts are really simple to make and depending on how many spices you add to the crust they'll be bursting with flavor. 

The first thing is to make your lemon curd for the filling. You can find my lemon curd recipe here

This is another very simple recipe that  you can whip up and store in your fridge and use it for pies, cake or cupcake fillings.  Next let's make your crust.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup white sugar

6 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

*note during the Fall and Winter months I like to add a little of allspice, nutmeg or ginger even to spice it up*

Directions

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and cinnamon until well blended . Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.

2. Bake at 375 degrees  for 7 minutes. Cool. If recipe calls for unbaked pie shell, just chill for about 1 hour.
