Mini tarts made easier and better!

I had some left over pastry/pie dough in the fridge and wanted to use it up, but didn’t feel like rolling out dough. Because I make my pie dough with butter, (recipe) it gets extremely hard when cold. So…I decided in my moment of laziness to try something new.  I just chopped up some fruit (apples, pears and plums) into small oven proof bowls, added some sugar, cinnamon, flour and lemon zest (didn’t measure) and gently mixed with a spoon. Then I thinly sliced my pie dough into disks and placed it on top of the fruit. Baked at 400F until bubbly. Didn’t time it, but I think it took around 30 minutes. They were so good that I thought I would share. 
Happy Baking!
