Ingredients
- 375 g puff pastry
- 150 g mincemeat
- 1 apple finely diced
- 30 g dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 egg whisked
- icing sugar to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Roll out 375 g Puff pastry and using a 6.5cm/2.5in cookie cutter, cut six disks. Using a 7.5cm/3in cookie cutter, cut six more disks. Place the small disks onto a lined baking tray.
- Mix together 150 g Mincemeat, 1 Apple, 30 g Dried cranberries and 1 tablespoon Lemon zest.
- Spoon one tablespoon of the mincemeat mixture onto the middle of the smaller pastry disks.
- Place the larger disks over the mincemeat and use a fork to gently crimp the edges together. Using a small sharp knife, poke two small holes in the top of the pies.
- Brush with 1 Egg and put onto a lined baking tray. Put in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Allow to cool and dust with Icing sugar (optional)

Notes
- Make sure you chop the apple up very very small, so it mixes in well with the mincemeat.
- Add a splash of brandy or rum for extra flavour. Not too much though, as you don't want it to be soggy.
- Make sure you transfer them to a wire rack to cool, as this will prevent them from getting a soggy bottom.
- Add some extra texture with some chopped nuts. Pecans and walnuts work well.
