Categories     Apple     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 jar (18 ounce) prepared mincemeat pie filling
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
1 recipe - 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup rum
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Steps:

  • Combine mincemeat, walnuts, apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and rum in a bowl. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Take filling out of refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Prepare crusts.
  • Stir filling well and pour into shell. Top with full crust and make slits or make a lattice top. Crimp edges.
  • Bake in preheated oven on low shelf for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits for a more complex flavor. Good options include apples, pears, raisins, and currants.
  • Soak the dried fruits in tea or fruit juice before adding them to the pie filling. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
  • Add some spices to the pie filling, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This will help to give the pie a warm and festive flavor.
  • Use a good quality mincemeat. Look for one that is made with real fruit and spices, and avoid ones that are made with fillers like sugar or corn syrup.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should come up to about 1 inch below the rim of the crust.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help to seal the edges and prevent them from drying out.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
