MINCEMEAT, APPLE & CRANBERRY LATTICE TART



Mincemeat, apple & cranberry lattice tart image

Forget fiddly mince pies, fill puff pastry with juicy mincemeat and fruit and serve this festive dessert in slices - perfect for entertaining

Provided by Katy Greenwood

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

flour , for dusting
500g puff pastry
2 Granny Smiths apples, peeled, cored and diced
140g fresh cranberries (or frozen and defrosted)
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp mixed spice
1 tbsp golden caster sugar , plus extra for sprinkling
zest 0.5 lemon
411g jar mincemeat
1 egg , beaten
whipped cream or brandy cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking sheet in to heat up. Lightly flour a work surface, roll out the puff pastry to a 30 x 45cm rectangle, then put on a sheet of baking parchment. Mix together the apples and cranberries, then add the cinnamon, mixed spice, sugar, lemon zest and mincemeat, and mix again.
  • Arrange the pastry in front of you with a short edge nearest to you. Spread the mincemeat mixture in a line down the centre, about 12cm wide, leaving 2cm of pastry at the top and bottom.
  • To create the lattice pattern, start at the top of the pastry and cut a 1.5-2cm-wide horizontal strip of pastry on both sides of the mincemeat filling (so it is still attached next to the filling). About 1.5cm in from the filling, cut out a 0.5cm strip of pastry and remove this, then cut another 1.5-2cm strip (you're creating a pattern like the teeth of a comb). Repeat this method until you get to the bottom of the pastry. You'll need to cut out the final strip and remove this. Fold the top and bottom flaps of pastry up and over the filling. Fold the strips of pastry diagonally over the filling, starting from the top until you reach the bottom, creating a lattice pattern. You can now chill the tart for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Brush the tart with the egg and sprinkle with the extra sugar. Using the baking parchment, transfer the tart to the hot baking tray. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown on top (add an extra 10-15 mins if baking from frozen). Leave to cool for 5 mins before serving with whipped cream or brandy cream.

MINCEMEAT, CRANBERRY & ALMOND PIE



Mincemeat, cranberry & almond pie image

Make this festive mincemeat, cranberry & almond pie as a warming winter treat for all the family. It contains just five ingredients and is easy to make

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

500g sweet shortcrust pastry
150g marzipan , grated
400g jar mincemeat
100g cranberries
50g icing sugar , for dusting

Steps:

  • Cut the pastry in two. Wrap one half and set aside. On a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out the other half to a square large enough to line a 22cm loose-bottomed fluted tart tin (we used a square tin, but a round one would also work). Press the pastry into the tin, leaving any excess hanging over the edge.
  • Scatter the marzipan over the pie base. Add the mincemeat and top with the cranberries.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry to a square (or circle) the thickness of a £1 coin. Use a pizza cutter to slice the pastry into 1.5cm-wide strips. Weave the pastry strips over the pie to create a lattice, pressing down at the edges to seal with the pastry base. Trim off any excess pastry. Chill for 20 mins and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Bake for 45 mins until golden. Cool for 15 mins in the tin, then transfer to a plate or board and dust with the icing sugar.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries and apples. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • To make the mincemeat ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to make the pies, simply thaw the mincemeat if it's frozen, and then follow the recipe instructions.
  • If you don't have any pie crust mix on hand, you can make your own using the following recipe:
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
    • 1/2 cup ice water
    To make the pie crust, simply combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and stir until the dough just comes together.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-apple mincemeat pies are a delicious and festive holiday treat. With their sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, they're sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try today!
