Mince and Apple Pie. (Recipe)

Well it's Christmas Eve and anything not done now just isn't getting done before Christmas!

In the spirit of Christmas what better to share with you than a mince pie.

Mincemeat and Apple Pie
Mincemeat and Apple Pie

It was made with a savoury pastry using plain flour, lard, water and a pinch of salt.

I didn't blind bake the pastry first but added the filling straight away and then popped it in the oven.

The apples were a lovely dessert apple which came off a friends tree and the mincemeat is one I made myself...you can find that recipe here.

Being a large tart the apples added a little more depth and made it not too rich. Lovely!!

I wish all my Readers a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
