Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the mini tart shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the light butter over low heat, then remove from heat.
Stir in the brown sugar until well combined and no lumps remain.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg and then add it to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring quickly to combine.
Add the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, salt, and water to the mixture and stir until smooth.
Evenly distribute the raisins among the tart shells.
Carefully fill each tart shell with the liquid filling mixture, ensuring the raisins are coated and submerged.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the pastry are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
