  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cubed butter. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the crushed pineapple, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and cut out circles using a cookie cutter.
  6. Place a spoonful of the pineapple filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
  7. Place the tarts on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Allow the tarts to cool before serving.
