1. Preheat the Sandwich Grill.

2. Spread one side of each bread slice with butter. Top the unbuttered side of each slice with half the pie filling (2 tablespoons). Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

3. When green indicator light is on, place the "tarts" on the bottom plates and use firm pressure to close and lock the Sandwich Grill. Cook until the green indicator light comes on again.

4. Remove “tarts” and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving (filling will be very hot). Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a favorite ice cream or frozen yogurt.
