Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized fresh pineapple
• 200 g granulated sugar
• 1 stick cinnamon stick
• 250 g unsalted butter
• 350 g all-purpose flour
• 50 g powdered sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 small, for egg wash egg
• 0.5 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the pineapple. Chop it into small chunks.

Step 2

In a blender, blend the chopped pineapple into a rough puree.

Step 3

Transfer the pineapple puree to a saucepan. Add 200g of granulated sugar and 1 cinnamon stick.

Step 4

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the mixture is thickened and most of the moisture has evaporated. Let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 250g of unsalted butter and 50g of powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 6

Add the 2 egg yolks and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until combined.

Step 7

Sift 350g of all-purpose flour and 0.5 tsp salt into the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 8

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out to about 0.5 cm thickness on a floured surface.

Step 11

Using a round or tart cutter, cut out circles of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Spoon a small amount of the cooled pineapple filling onto the center of each dough circle.

Step 13

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pressing gently to seal.

Step 14

Beat 1 small egg for the egg wash. Brush each tart with the egg wash to give a beautiful golden finish.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
