Jaffa Mince Pie

  • 2 x Jaffa Easy Peelers
  • 1 x Apple
  • 1 x Medium Egg
  • 375g Plain Flour
  • 250g Butter
  • 125g Caster Sugar
  • 800g Mincemeat
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C
  2. Start by making the pastry, rub together the flour, butter, sugar and egg with a small amount of cold water until it comes together and forms a dough, but don’t overwork it
  3. Cover the pastry in cling film and chill in the fridge
  4. Now make the filling – Place the mincemeat into a bowl, grate the Jaffa easy peeler zest into the mix, then peel and chop the apple and remaining Easy Peeler to the bowl, and mix the ingredients with a spoon
  5. Remove your pastry from the fridge, roll it out onto a lightly floured surface. You’re aiming for a thickness of approximately 3mm
  6. Cut out 12 discs of pastry
  7. Place the pastry discs into a muffin tray and fill each cup with a generous amount of the mincemeat mixture, ensuring it reaches 3⁄4 of the way up
  8. Using a fluted pastry cutter cut out 12 more discs of pastries lightly smaller in diameter than your first discs. Put a lid on each of the pies, and then sprinkle with some extra sugar
  9. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, and then place on a rack to cool
  10. Enjoy!
