Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 4

Pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie (see recipe)
2 cups venison mincemeat (see recipe) or commercial mincemeat
2 cups cranberry sauce (see recipe)
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped

Steps:

  • Roll out 1/2 the pie crust and ease it into a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine the mincemeat, cranberry sauce and apple. Spread into the pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and use it to cover the pie, sealing the edges with your fingers, and use a knife to cut a number of small vents in the top; alternatively, cut strips of dough and make a lattice top for the pie.
  • Bake the pie for 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue to bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups prepared mincemeat (such as None Such®)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 package of refrigerated pastry for double-crust pie (such as Pillsbury®
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place apples, butter, and lemon juice into a saucepan over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until the apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the mincemeat and walnuts until thoroughly combined, and set the pie filling aside.
  • Fit a pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish; pour the filling into the crust. With a brush dipped in water, moisten the edge of the bottom crust. Top the pie with the second crust, and crimp the two crusts together with a fork to seal. Cut 4 slits into the top crust for steam vents. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with water, and brush the yolk mixture over the top crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the pie from the oven, and cover the crust edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent over baking. Return the pie to the oven, and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 more minutes.

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.

  • Chop the cranberries and apples into small pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the mincemeat. It should be thick and bubbly, but not too thick or dry.
  • Let the mincemeat cool completely before using it. This will help it to thicken and set.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the mincemeat. Common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves.
  • If you don't have time to make your own mincemeat, you can buy it pre-made in the store. Just be sure to choose a brand that uses real fruit and spices.
