Be Christmas recipe with our tried and tested mince pie recipe

Mince pies sprinkled with icing sugar

Ingredients

    For the pastry

    Mince meat filling

    • 2 x 400g of Mince Meat filling
    • 1 Orange, zest grated and flesh chopped
    • 1 Apple, finely diced

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. To make the pastry, rub the flour, butter, sugar and egg together with a splash of cold water until it just comes together as a dough. Do not over work the dough. Then Wrap the pastry in cling film and set aside to chill in the fridge

    2. Turn the mincemeat out into a bowl, grate the zest of the orange into the mincemeat

    3. Peel and chop the fruit. Throw the orange and apple pieces into the bowl and blend by hand

    4. With a fluted pastry cutter, cut out 6 x 8cm/3¼ in pastry circles for the lids (slightly bigger than the top of the muffin cups). Place a lid on top of each pie and gently push down. Sprinkle with caster sugar

    5. Bake for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with fresh cream
