In a medium-sized saucepan, stir together the chopped apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, black pepper, baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Add the butter and cook over medium heat while stirring often for about 5 minutes or until the apples are tender and the mixture thickens.

Arrange 18 frozen unbaked tart shells on a large baking sheet. Fill each of the tart shells with the pie filling while it is still hot, distributing it evenly between all 18 tart shells.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the tart shells are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, or let cool fully.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Apple Selection Magic 🍎Choose Gala apples that are firm and slightly tart, as they hold their shape beautifully and provide the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity in your tart filling.
- Cornstarch Thickening Secret 🥄Mix cornstarch with cold brown sugar before adding to the apple mixture to prevent lumping and ensure a smooth, silky filling that sets perfectly in your tart shells.
- Spice Layering Technique 🌶️Toast your ground cinnamon and black pepper briefly in the pan before adding apples to unlock deeper, more complex flavor profiles that elevate the entire dessert.
- Tart Shell Pro Tip 🥧Briefly toast store-bought tart shells in the oven for 2-3 minutes before filling to restore crispness and prevent sogginess from the apple mixture.
- Vanilla Extraction Hack 💧Use high-quality Madagascar vanilla extract and add it off the heat to preserve its delicate aromatic compounds, ensuring a rich, nuanced flavor in your apple pie tarts.
