Mini Mince Pies
These Mini Mince Pies feature our homemade mincemeat recipe that is chock full of apples, raisins, dried fruit, spices, and a splash of alcohol. A delicious version of this classic holiday pie!
Ingredients
- Homemade Mincemeat (or 1 Jar of Canned Mincemeat)
- Homemade Pie Crust or 1 package of Pre-Made Pie Crust
- 1 large Egg (separated)
- 2 1/2 inch Round Cookie Cutter
Instructions
- Make a batch of our Homemade Mincemeat and allow it to cool.
- Once the Mincemeat is cool, make your Pie Crust. You can find our recipe here.
- Roll out the pie crust. (You'll want it on the thin side.)
- Cut out circles that will fit into your muffin/cupcake tin. We used a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter.
- Press the pie crust circles into the muffin/cupcake tin.
- Brush a whisked egg white onto the inside of the mini pies. This will help keep the mincemeat from soaking into the pie crust.
- Fill the crust with the Homemade Mincemeat.
- Cut out stars from the Pie Crust and cover the mincemeat with the pie crust decoration.
- Brush a whisked egg yolk over the stars.
- Bake in an oven pre-heated to 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
Is there Meat in Mincemeat Pie?
No! There are some recipes that still use meat but most contemporary recipes leave it out. Our Mincemeat recipe is made of Apples, Raisins, Other Dried Fruits, Fall Spices and usually a splash of Brandy and Rum.
Should I use Homemade Mincemeat or Storebought Mincemeat?
You of course can use canned Mince in these pies but you should try our Homemade Mincemeat Recipe at least once. It is really, really good.
How do you serve Traditional Mincemeat Pie?
Mincemeat Pies taste best at room temperature with a dollop of Whipped Cream or Vanilla Ice Cream. Yum!
How to store/freeze?
Store the left-over pies in the refrigerator. They should last a couple of days.
