A layer of apples, a layer of mincemeat and a streusel topping. I am not a huge fan of mincemeat but my father is, so every holiday I make him a mincemeat pie. This one is really Good and it looks as good as it tastes!! I got this recipe out of a Borden, Home for the Holidays leaflet years ago. Ingredients:
1 9 in. unbaked pastry shell |
3 all-purpose apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
1/2 cup unsifted flour, plus |
3 tablespoons unsifted flour |
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 (32 ounce) jar ready to use mincemeat (regular or brandy & rum) |
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/3 cup cold butter or 1/3 cup margarine |
1/4 cup chopped nuts (i use walnuts) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, toss apples with 3 Tablespoons flour and the melted margarine; arrange in a pastry shell.
2. (To save time, you can use a frozen pastry shell, thawed).
3. Top apples with mincemeat.
4. In medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup flour, sugar and cinnamon; cut in cold margarine until crumbly.
5. Add nuts; sprinkle over mincemeat.
6. Bake in lower half of 425* degree oven 10 minutes.
7. Reduce oven temperature to 375*; bake 25 minutes longer or until golden brown.
8. Cool.
9. Serve with whipping cream.
10. (Prior to removing your pie from the oven, insert a knife or fork to test the doneness of the apples- I made this pie for Thanksgiving and used 3 different apples, one of them did not cook up as fast as the other two and I had some crunchy bites- it was s).
