Christmas Mince Pies

Thanks to inspiration from Teresa at thehealthychef.com!

Ingredients

Almond Crust:

  • 2 cups of Flannerys Almond Meal
  • 1/2 cup Flannerys Macadamias
  • 2 TBS Flannerys Organic Maple Syrup
  • 2 TBS Flannerys Organic Coconut Oil
  • 1 organic egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Fruit Filling:

  • 500g organic apples, finely diced with their skin on (containing all the nutrients)
  • 250g Flannerys Organic Raisins or Sultanas
  • 100g Flannerys Organic Cranberries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • zest from a small organic orange
  • 2 cups of fresh apple juice

Method

  • Make the crust by combining the almond meal and macadamias in a food processor until well combined
  • Transfer this to a mixing bowl and add the remaining crust ingredients. Use your hands to combine well into a soft dough – adding a little water if needed. Rest dough for a least half an hour.
  • Dust a bench with a little coconut flour or roll the dough between two sheets of baking paper.  Make sure to roll out large enough to cover double the number of pie/muffin tin moulds. This mixture should make roughly 10 small pies.
  • Lightly grease pie/tart shells with a little coconut oil, and then cut dough into squares big enough to fit the muffin/pie moulds, allowing for depth.
  • Line with pastry and then the 1 heaped TBS of fruit filling.
  • With the remains of pastry, roll again and cut out shapes you wish to decorate the top of the pies with.  The top pies.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 150 degree oven for 30 mins or until golden brown on top.

Fruit Filling

  • Add all the filling ingredients into a large saucepan, cover and simmer over low-medium heat for 1 hour.
  • Stir ever so often and keep an eye on it not to boil, and add more apple juice if it looks to dry up.
  • Allow to cool completely before adding it into pastry cases
