Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol (granulated, for crust)
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free dried cranberries (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free raisins (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.25 cup Chopped almonds
• 1 piece Zest of orange
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Erythritol (granulated, for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Unsweetened apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Brandy (optional)
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.

Step 2

To make the crust, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, and 2 tablespoons of erythritol in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add the butter (cold and cubed) to the dry ingredients and work it into the mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter until it achieves a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Mix the egg and vanilla extract into the dough until it forms a ball. Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar-free dried cranberries, sugar-free raisins, chopped pecans, chopped almonds, orange zest, lemon juice, 0.25 cup erythritol, apple cider vinegar, brandy (if using), and water.

Step 6

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves, and stir everything together. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it slightly thickens. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles to fit into the muffin tin as pie bases, and gently press them into the tins.

Step 8

Spoon the cooled filling evenly into each pie shell.

Step 9

Roll out the remaining dough and cut out smaller circles or decorative shapes for the tops of the pies. Place them on top of the filling and gently seal the edges.

Step 10

Bake the mince pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the pies to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with a pinch of powdered erythritol for decoration.
