Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy for a smooth, creamy filling. - Don't overmix the dough, or the tarts will be tough. - Roll out the dough thinly so that the tarts are crispy. - Bake the tarts until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. - Let the tarts cool completely before serving so that the filling has time to set. - For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or spices to the filling. - You can also use a different type of fruit, such as apples, pears, or berries. - If you don't have time to make the tarts from scratch, you can use pre-made pie crusts.
