Called the quintessential Canadian dessert, the recipe for butter tarts first appeared in 1900 in a local cookbook published in Barrie Ontario Canada. The method appeared in the Royal Victoria Hospitals women's auxiliary cookbook. A relatively simple recipe, the butter tart is similar to the French Canadian tarte au sucre (sugar pie). Unusually thick rich flaky pastry shell filled with a melted concoction of brown sugar, eggs and butter. Some controversy surrounds the addition of raisins or walnuts/pecans. Whether the filling is runny or set softly is argued by connoisseurs but most people like them any way they can find them.

Did people eat apple tarts in the middle ages?
I did some research on this and was unable to find medieval apple tarts. Nevertheless, apple pies did exist in the Middle Ages, and so did pastries of many kinds, custards, and so on. I think it is safe to guess that apple tarts existed, though possibly not by that name, and possibly, like most other medieval recipes, unrecorded.
