Time P3DT1h15m

Yield 2 1/2 pounds or 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and quartered
8 ounces golden raisins
6 ounces dark brown sugar
4 ounces dried figs, coarsely chopped
2 ounces dried cherries
2 ounces beef suet, coarsely chopped
1-ounce crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brandy
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground clove
Cornmeal crust, recipe follows
12 ounces all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 1/2 ounces stone ground cornmeal
1 1/2 ounces sugar, plus extra for the crust
1 teaspoon table salt
8 ounces very cold unsalted butter
2 ounces apple cider or juice
2 ounces cold water
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients except the crust into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 days before using. Can be stored for up to 6 months.
  • If you prefer a finer texture of mincemeat place the apples, dried fruit and suet into a meat grinder with a large die and grind. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. You may also finely chop the apples, dried fruit and suet by hand.
  • Place the flour, cornmeal, 1 1/2 ounces sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Grate the cold butter on the large side of a box grater directly into the dry ingredients. Work together with your hands until the mixture is crumbly. Add the cider and water and stir with a spatula to combine. Knead the dough 5 to 6 times and spritz with additional water if the dough is dry. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Place 2 pieces of the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll each out into a 1/8-inch thick round that is 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mincemeat into the center of each round, fold up the edges of the dough in order to form a crust all the way around. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Transfer the dough on the parchment to a half sheet pan. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • If you prefer 1 large pie, roll out the dough on a piece of parchment into a 15 to 16-inch round, about 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick. Trim the edges with a pizza cutter. Carefully slide the rolled out dough, still on the parchment paper, onto an upside down half sheet pan. Spoon about 1 1/2 pounds of the mincemeat onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2 to 3-inch margin around the edge of the crust. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before serving.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 large Granny Smith apple
½ cup raisins
⅓ cup slivered almonds
⅓ cup dried apple
⅓ cup dried currants
⅓ cup diced candied peel (orange, lemon or citron)
½ cup demerara sugar
1 Tbsp orange or lemon juice
1 tsp orange zest
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground allspice
⅒ tsp ground cloves
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbsp sweet sherry
2 cup all purpose flour
3 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp fine salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
⅓ cup vegetable shortening
1 large egg
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 to 2 tbsp cold water
1 egg mixed with 2 tbsp water, for brushing
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For mincemeat, peel, core and grate apple, squeezing out excess juices. Chop raisins, almonds and dried apple and toss with grated fresh apple. Stir in currants, candied peel, sugar, orange or lemon juice, orange zest and spices until evenly coated. Stir in melted butter and sherry. Cover bowl and let sit in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
  • For pastry, combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until a rough, crumbly texture. Whisk egg with lemon juice and ¼ cup of cold water. Add to flour mixture and blend just until dough comes together, adding more water if needed. Shape dough into 2 discs, wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured surface roll out 1 disc of dough to just less than ¼ -inch thick and line a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges of pastry. Spread mincemeat filling to shell. Roll out remaining disc of dough and cut out desired shapes (such as stars or circles) and arrange, overlapping, over mincemeat filling.
  • Brush pie with egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake 30 minutes more until pastry is richly browned and the filling bubbles. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
