Time 40m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
⅔ cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
¼ cup ice water
¾ cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sift together the flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix in the butter until mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in the orange zest. Sprinkle with ice water, and gather dough into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out approximately 18 (3 inch) diameter circles, and 18 (2 inch) circles, rerolling dough as needed.
  • Line muffin cups or tart tins using the 3 inch pastry circles. Fill each pastry cup with about 1 tablespoon of mincemeat filling. Top with 2 inch pastry circles, pinching circles together to seal the edges. Brush the top of each pie with egg.
  • Bake pies in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks. Dust with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar just before serving.

I'm not a big fan of mincemeat, but I loved these pies. The orange flavor really balanced out the mincemeat.

These mini orange mince pies were a delightful treat! The combination of sweet oranges and tangy mincemeat was perfect, and the pastry was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again for my next holiday party.
