Ingredients-

Pastry Crust
1-1/4 Cups All purpose flour
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbs. Organic Sugar
1/2 Cup of Earth Balance margarine
1/8-1/4 Cup Ice cold water

Filling
1/3 Cup Earth Balance Margarine
1 Cup Organic Light Brown sugar
2 Ener-G Egg replacers
1 Tsp. Fair Trade vanilla extract
1/4 Cup Sweetened Mimicreme
A few raisins or pecans
For the Crust:
        Place flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until combined. Add the margarine and process until the mixture is crumbly. Turn on you food processor and and the cold water until the mixture turns into a dough ball. When dough can be pinched together, thats when it is ready to be chilled! Take the ball and flatten it into a disc, plastic wrap it and refrigerate for about an hour.
        When the dough has been chilled place it on a lightly floured surface and roll it out. Cut the discs into 4 inch circles (We used drinking cups to make them round). Place them into muffin pans and chill for 30 mins.

        While the dough is chilling, make up the filling! Cream the brown sugar and margarine together. Add the Ener-G eggs and vanilla extract and cream again! Add the mimicreme and mix thoroughly. Place some chopped raisins or pecans or both in the bottom of each tart and cover with the mixture. Bake for 15-20 mins on 375 F and cool until ready to eat!

With any left over dough you can make mini-pies with them using your favorite jams!
