Instructions
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but not more than 1 day.
- While the dough is chilling, make the filling: In a medium bowl, toss apples with sugar and cinnamon. Mix in walnuts.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease sixteen 3-inch tart pans. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.
- Knead dough briefly on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle.
- Carefully fit one circle into each tart pan. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each tart pan. Fold pastry edges over filling. Place filled tarts onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Melt apricot jam and brush over finished tarts if desired.
