Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with margarine or coconut oil. You can use canned pineapple if fresh isn't available; just drain it well. For a gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend. Store cooled tartlets in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge in a humid climate. Frozen unbaked tartlets can be baked directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
