MINCE PIES

Mince Pies image

These sweet (yes sweet!) pastry delights will be sure to have you asking for seconds (or more) and they go fantastically with a nice cup of tea (or something a bit stronger). For those of you who are not familiar with mince pies you might be confused as to why I said mince pies are sweet. Well despite the name, and the fact that mince pies are made with mincemeat, mince pies do not contain any meat and are made primarily of dried fruit and spices. But don't let me convince you, check out the recipe to see for yourselves.

Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 medium Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and diced
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup raisins
1 cup golden raisins
¾ cup dried currants
4 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ teaspoon ground mace
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated dough for a double-crust pie, defrosted
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine apples, brown sugar, raisins, golden raisins, currants, orange peel, lemon zest, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, mace, and ginger in a medium saucepan. Mix together and bring to a boil over medium heat. Immediately turn the heat down to the lowest setting on your stovetop. Simmer, stirring frequently to ensure the mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from the heat and leave to cool while you prepare your pastry.
Unroll pie crusts onto a flat surface. Cut into 24 circles using a cookie cutter or the bottom of a mug.
Place a circle into the bottom of each cup of a 12-cup cupcake tin. Fill each of the pastry circles with fruit filling. Brush the edges of the pastry with some of the beaten egg and cover with the remaining circles. Brush all of the mince pies with more beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
