Ingredients
Crust
- 1 stick of butter + 1 tbsp salted and melted
- 1 egg
- ½ cup powder sugar
- 1 ½ cup flour
Filling
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup cashews chopped
- 1 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tbsp crushed graham crackers optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
Crust
- Mix flour, icing, sugar, butter and egg till a dough forms. You can use a mixer to make it easier or do by hand and knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface. Form a ball and wrap in saran wrap. Refrigerate for 20- 30 Minutes.
Filling
- Combine all filling ingredients and lightly mix with a whisk. Do not over mix.
Assembly
- Take a small section of dough and press into the mold with your thumb, removing any excess. Use a fork to press into the base of the dough molds about one to two times.
- Using a small table spoon, scoop filling into molds filling ⅔ of the way. Do not over fill.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes until browning starts to form. It will look wobbly still, but the filling will harden once left to rest for 10 minutes or so.
