Steps:
- Whizz the butter, flour and ground almonds in a food processor until the butter has disappeared. Pulse in the sugar and half the orange zest. Add the milk and keep whizzing until a rough dough comes together. Tip onto the work surface, press together and shape into a smooth disc, kneading once or twice if you need to. Chill for 15 mins. Can be made up to 3 days ahead and chilled, or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Scatter a little flour onto the work surface. Roll out the dough to about the thickness of a £1 coin. Using an 8cm cutter, stamp out 24 circles and use to line the holes of 2 x 12-hole bun tins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix cranberries and mincemeat, then spoon into cases. Scatter each pie with flaked almonds. Can be frozen for up to 1 month. Bake the pies for 18-20 mins until the pastry and almonds are golden. When ready to serve, dust with the tiniest bit of icing sugar. Stir 2 tsp icing sugar and remaining zest into the crème fraîche, then dollop onto each pie to serve.

Steps:
- Make mincemeat:
- Stir together all ingredients except pastry dough and chill in an airtight container, stirring at least once a day for at least 3 days.
- Make pie:
- Put oven rack in middle position. Put a large baking sheet on rack and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Roll out larger piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out smaller piece of dough for top crust.
- Roll out smaller piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips with a pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Stir mincemeat, then spoon into shell in an even layer. Weave a lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.
- Trim edges of strips flush with edge of bottom crust. Fold bottom crust up over edges of lattice and decoratively crimp.
- Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and cover edge of pie with a pie shield or foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling begins to bubble around edge, about 1 hour more. Transfer pie to a rack and cool to warm or room temperature, about 2 hours. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Place rack in lower half of oven & preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mincemeat & cranberries, then set aside.
- Line a 9-inch pie plate with one pastry crust, then add the filling.

- Whisk the egg yolk & water together, then brush the surface of the pie with the egg wash.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
- Cover & refrigerate.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- If you don't have mincemeat, you can make your own by following this recipe.
- To make the pie crust, you can use a food processor or a pastry blender. If you're using a food processor, be careful not to overmix the dough.
- When you're assembling the pie, be sure to brush the edges of the bottom crust with egg wash before adding the top crust. This will help to seal the pie and prevent it from leaking.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The pie will need to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
