Crumble topped mince pies

Our crumble topped mince pies are a delicious twist on the traditional mince pies. The perfect festive treat for the whole family to enjoy.

Add the sweet, fruity mincemeat into a shortcrust pastry shell and top with the buttery crumble. Once baked, eat on its own or pair with a dollop of thick cream.

What you'll need...

Pastry

  • 350g plain flour
  • 50g icing sugar
  • 225g unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Pinch of salt

Filling

  • 1 jar of mincemeat
  • 1 small green apple
  • 25g dried cranberries
  • 25g nuts of your choice, chopped
  • 2 tbsp brandy or amaretto
  • ½ tsp almond extract, optional

Crumble topping

  • 100g plain flour
  • 50g unsalted butter, chilled
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 50g demerara sugar
  • Icing sugar, to decorate

Method

  1. Beat the butter and icing sugar in a large bowl until pale and fluffy. Add in the egg yolks and beat mixture together. Work in the flour with a wooden spoon, a third at a time, until it begins to clump up (add a splash of milk if it’s a little dry), then finish gathering it together with your hands. 

  2. Gently work the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill for 45 mins. Preheat your oven to 200°C. 

  3. Whilst your pastry is chilling, add all your filling ingredients and mix in a bowl. For the crumble topping, add the flour and butter to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and continue to pulse until it starts to clump. Transfer this to a baking sheet and refrigerate until needed. 

  1. Roll out your pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a pound coin and use a round cutter to make 24 circles to fit the cups of two muffin tins. Press the pastry into each cup and fill each one with a spoonful of the mincemeat mix. 

  2. Sprinkle over some of the crumble topping to cover the mincemeat and bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown. 

  3. Cool in their tins for 10 minutes, before lifting out with a knife and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
