I'm not sure why you consider those non-options, but okay.  

You can take a small handful and spread it out in a muffin cup, drizzle 
with butter or maybe spray with cooking spray, bake until brown and then 
put into it whatever pie filling you like for really different tarts. 
 You can go sweet or savory with the filling.


Some web pages, mostly recipes, at least one is a menu item without a 
recipe but a good idea!
