Ingredients
3 prepared refrigerated single unbaked pie crusts, room temperature
3 lbs. maple-flavored bulk pork sausage
1 qt. chopped sweet onion
63 oz. Lucky Leaf® apple pie filling
1 cup packed brown sugar, divided
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup pure maple syrup
Dressed baby-greens salad
Instructions
1. Preheat to 400ºF conventional oven or 350ºF convection oven.
2. Roll each pie crust into 12-13 inch circle. Put pie crust into each of three 10-10½ inch round tart pans with removable bottoms, pressing into bottom and up sides; line with double thickness heavy-duty foil. Bake 5 minutes; remove foil. Continue baking 5-7 minutes, or until pastry is nearly done. Remove from oven. Hold.

4. Spoon mixture in equal amounts into each of the partially baked pie shells. Hold.
5. In medium bowl, cut butter into remaining ¾ cup brown sugar until crumbly. Stir in oats and pecans; sprinkle evenly over tops of sausage tarts.
6. Bake, uncovered, 35-45 minutes, or until top is golden and mixture is hot.
7. Remove from oven. Drizzle tops of tarts with maple syrup. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove sides of pans.
8. To serve: Slice each tart into 8. Serve warm with baby-greens salad lightly dressed with mustard vinaigrette.
