Mom's Infamous Mincemeat Pie image

Mom's 88 yrs. old now, but her mincemeat pie was a staple every year at the weekly Lenten Luncheons at our church as well as family holiday dinners. I wonder if it had anything to do with the half cup of brandy or rum mom would add to her pie.

I had some trouble getting the crust to roll out evenly. Other than that, the pie turned out great.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I made this pie for my family and they loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the filling.

I've been making this mincemeat pie for years, and it's always a hit. The combination of apples, raisins, and spices is perfect. I like to add a little bit of grated orange zest to mine for an extra burst of flavor.
