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.

HOMEMADE MINCE PIE WITH CRUMBLY TOPPING



Homemade Mince Pie with Crumbly Topping image

This pie has no meat in it (it's a 'mock' mincemeat pie). It doesn't use mincemeat mixes or prepared pie crusts. It's homemade, like ma (or grandma) used to make. Enjoy it! I made it for my father for Father's Day (he loves mince pie).

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Fruit Pie Recipes     Mincemeat Pie Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup cold butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold water
1 ½ cups raisins
5 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped grapefruit peel without white layer
⅓ cup orange juice
½ cup apple cider
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ graham cracker, crushed
⅓ cup white sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter
½ graham cracker, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of cold butter with 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt with a fork until the mixture is very crumbly. Mix in water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture holds together. Mix again with a fork, then turn out onto a floured pastry cloth. Pat the dough out into a round piece, and roll out into a 10-inch circle. Invert a 9-inch pie dish onto the dough. Flip the dough over, and peel from the pastry cloth; adjust the crust into the plate if necessary. Fold the dough over the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
  • Combine the raisins, apples, grapefruit peel, orange juice, and apple cider in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, cloves, and half a crushed graham cracker, and mix well.
  • Mix together 1/3 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, 6 tablespoons of butter, and half a crushed graham cracker in a bowl, stirring until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Pour the mince filling into the prepared pie crust, and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 30 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

EASY MINCE PIES WITH CRUNCHY CRUMBLE TOPS



Easy mince pies with crunchy crumble tops image

These individual pies with a twist are great for using up storecupboard staples such as nuts and dried fruit, they're budget-friendly too

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dessert

Time 47m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

300g dried mixed fruit
200g apricot jam
25ml brandy
200g plain flour
100g butter , cut into cubes
1 egg yolk
100g plain flour
25g icing sugar , plus extra for dusting
50g butter , cut into cubes
50g whole almond , roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Put the dried fruit and jam in a small pan, heat until melted together, then stir in the brandy and cool. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
  • For the pastry, set aside 2 tbsp flour and put the rest plus the butter in a food processor. Whizz until there are no lumps of butter. Pulse in the egg yolk, followed by a tbsp of water at a time, until the dough comes together - you'll probably need 2 tbsp. (If you don't have a food processor, rub butter into the flour with your fingers, then stir in the yolk and water with a round-bladed knife.) Use the reserved flour to roll out the pastry to just over the thickness of a £1 coin. Stamp circles with an 8cm cutter and press into holes of a bun tin - you should get 15 from re-rolling the trimmings.
  • Divide the fruit amongst the pies, then bake for 5 mins while you rub together all the crumble ingredients with your fingers. Top each pie with crumble, then return to the oven for 15 mins until pastry and crumble are golden. Eat warm or cold dusted with icing sugar.

Tips:

  • To make sure your mincemeat pie has a crispy crust, use a combination of plain flour and bread flour.
  • For a sweeter pie, use more brown sugar than white sugar.
  • If you don't have any suet, you can substitute butter or shortening.
  • To make sure your pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • Let your pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Mincemeat pie is a classic holiday dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its crispy crust, sweet and tangy filling, and warm spices, this pie is a true comfort food. Whether you make it from scratch or use a store-bought mincemeat filling, this pie is sure to be a hit.
