7. Bake at 350°F for 7–8 minutes.
8. Allow the mini tarts to cool completely in the muffin pan, about 30 minutes, before gently removing the mini tart crusts (do not attempt to remove them until they are completely cool or they will break).
9. Top each mini tart with about 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Add 1 teaspoon of the optional apricot preserves on top of the yogurt.
10. Top with each mini tart with fresh berries.
11. Serve immediately.
