Ingredients
  

  • 12 mini tart shells prebaked
  • 2 cups pumpkin diced small
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped walnuts

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and cook 12 to 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
  3. Mash lightly with a fork for a chunky-creamy texture.
  4. Spoon the warm filling into the prebaked tart shells.
  5. Top each with chopped walnuts and a tiny extra sprinkle of brown sugar.
  6. Warm in a 350F oven for 5 minutes before serving if needed.

Notes

A pinch of flaky salt on top makes the caramel pop.
