Mini Szarlotka (Polish Apple Tartlets)

These mini tartlets feature a simple, tender shortcrust pastry filled with gently spiced apples, a touch of lemon, and naturally sweet raisins. Toasted walnuts add a subtle crunch, complementing the soft fruit. Each tartlet is topped with a small braided dough loop, giving a rustic, handmade feel as it bakes to a warm golden color. Perfectly sized for one or two bites, they are a cozy, comforting dessert inspired by traditional Polish home baking
