Apple Tartlets

Tarts are delicious desserts, mixing different textures and flavors. They are eaten for thousands of years and it seems that human being still like them.

Usually they are made with refined wheat flour and great quantity of butter. This recipe is a healthy option because it is sweetened only with fruits; instead of butter it is made with nuts and instead of refined flour we used oatmeal and whole wheat flour.
