Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a small mixing bowl, add Dried Fruit Mix (1 cup), Brown Sugar (1/3 cup), Dry Mixed Spice (as needed), Ground Nutmeg (as needed), Green Apple (1), 1 tsp of zest from Orange (1), zest and juice from Lemon (1), Brandy (1 Tbsp), and melted Butter (1 oz). Mix thoroughly and set aside.
step 3
To a food processor, add All-Purpose Flour (2 cups), Powdered Confectioners Sugar (3/4 cup), and chopped Butter (4 oz). With the lid on, blend on low until the mixture resembles crumbs.
step 4
Add in Water (2 Tbsp) and blitz until mixture resembles a dough. Split dough into two portions.
step 5
On a floured surface, roll each portion out individually. Then, using a large cookie cutter, cut out 12 rounds from each pastry sheet.
step 6
In a lightly-greased patty pan, put a round into each hole. Spoon the mince mixture into the cup and place another round on top of the cup. With a knife, make a small hole in the top of each pie.
step 7
Beat an Egg (1) in a cup and brush lightly over the top of each of the pies. Sprinkle with Granulated Sugar (to taste) and cook for 30 minutes.
step 8
Leave baked pies in the tin for 20 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
