Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Gather all ingredients.

02

Step

10 mins

Place pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and roll out each crust with a rolling pin, so it is large enough to cut three 5 to 5-1/2-inch circles, for a total of 6 tart crusts.

03

Step

15 mins

Fit each dough circle into a 4-inch removable-bottom tart pan. Press the dough against the sides of the pans, and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Remove any excess dough by running the rolling pin across the top of each pan.

04

Step

45 mins

Refrigerate tart crusts until well chilled, about 45 minutes, keeping them refrigerated until ready to use.

05

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine cherries, tapioca, sugar, almond extract, and salt.

06

Step

5 mins

Remove the pans from the fridge and distribute cherry mixture evenly among the tart pans. Place the pans on a baking sheet.

07

Step

30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until cherries are soft and crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of sweet and sour cherries.
If you don't have removable-bottom tart pans, you can use muffin tins instead. Adjust baking time accordingly.
Feel free to experiment with different extracts, such as vanilla or lemon, to customize the flavor of the tarts.
The tarts can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can tent the tarts with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
