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.

Time P3DT1h15m

Yield 2 1/2 pounds or 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and quartered
8 ounces golden raisins
6 ounces dark brown sugar
4 ounces dried figs, coarsely chopped
2 ounces dried cherries
2 ounces beef suet, coarsely chopped
1-ounce crystallized ginger, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brandy
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground clove
Cornmeal crust, recipe follows
12 ounces all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting
2 1/2 ounces stone ground cornmeal
1 1/2 ounces sugar, plus extra for the crust
1 teaspoon table salt
8 ounces very cold unsalted butter
2 ounces apple cider or juice
2 ounces cold water
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Place all of the ingredients except the crust into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 8 to 10 times. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 days before using. Can be stored for up to 6 months.
  • If you prefer a finer texture of mincemeat place the apples, dried fruit and suet into a meat grinder with a large die and grind. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. You may also finely chop the apples, dried fruit and suet by hand.
  • Place the flour, cornmeal, 1 1/2 ounces sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Grate the cold butter on the large side of a box grater directly into the dry ingredients. Work together with your hands until the mixture is crumbly. Add the cider and water and stir with a spatula to combine. Knead the dough 5 to 6 times and spritz with additional water if the dough is dry. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Place 2 pieces of the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and roll each out into a 1/8-inch thick round that is 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mincemeat into the center of each round, fold up the edges of the dough in order to form a crust all the way around. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Transfer the dough on the parchment to a half sheet pan. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • If you prefer 1 large pie, roll out the dough on a piece of parchment into a 15 to 16-inch round, about 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick. Trim the edges with a pizza cutter. Carefully slide the rolled out dough, still on the parchment paper, onto an upside down half sheet pan. Spoon about 1 1/2 pounds of the mincemeat onto the center of the dough, leaving a 2 to 3-inch margin around the edge of the crust. Place in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before serving.

APPLE STREUSEL MINCE PIE



Apple Streusel Mince Pie image

A layer of apples, a layer of mincemeat and a streusel topping. I am not a huge fan of mincemeat but my father is, so every holiday I make him a mincemeat pie. This one is really Good and it looks as good as it tastes!! I got this recipe out of a "Borden, Home for the Holidays" leaflet years ago.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 9inch pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 9 in. unbaked pastry shell
3 all-purpose apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup unsifted flour, plus
3 tablespoons unsifted flour
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (32 ounce) jar ready to use mincemeat (Regular or Brandy & Rum)
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup cold butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1/4 cup chopped nuts (I use walnuts)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss apples with 3 Tablespoons flour and the melted margarine; arrange in a pastry shell.
  • (To save time, you can use a frozen pastry shell, thawed).
  • Top apples with mincemeat.
  • In medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup flour, sugar and cinnamon; cut in cold margarine until crumbly.
  • Add nuts; sprinkle over mincemeat.
  • Bake in lower half of 425* degree oven 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 375*; bake 25 minutes longer or until golden brown.
  • Cool.
  • Serve with whipping cream.
  • (Prior to removing your pie from the oven, insert a knife or fork to test the doneness of the apples- I made this pie for Thanksgiving and used 3 different apples, one of them did not cook up as fast as the other two and I had some"crunchy" bites- it was s).

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Braeburn, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and core the apples: This will help to ensure that the mincemeat is smooth and free of any lumps.
  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries will give the mincemeat a tart and tangy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries instead.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves will help to give the mincemeat a warm and festive flavor.
  • Don't overcook the mincemeat: Overcooking the mincemeat will make it dry and tough. Cook it just until the apples are tender and the cranberries have burst.
  • Let the mincemeat cool completely: Before using the mincemeat in a pie, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Pilgrim Apple Mincemeat Pie is a classic holiday dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its sweet and tart flavor, this pie is a perfect way to celebrate the season. So next time you're looking for a festive and delicious dessert, give this recipe a try.
