APPLE MINCE WALNUT PIE
I came up with this pie several years ago when I was making pies for Christmas and ended up with not quite enough filling for a whole pie. I added mincemeat and walnuts and it was a big hit. This pie is not as intense in flavor as a straight mincemeat pie and even people who are not a big fan of mince pies like it.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the pie.
- If you don't have any mincemeat, you can make your own by combining chopped apples, raisins, currants, candied peel, and spices in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for at least 1 hour before using.
- You can use any type of nuts in this pie, but walnuts are a classic choice. Chop them coarsely so that they are still visible in the finished pie.
- Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and the dough comes together.
- Chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- To prevent the pie crust from getting too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will give the filling time to set.
