Ingredients

• 320 grams All-purpose flour
• 225 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 350 grams Mincemeat
• 3 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar for the crust.

Step 2

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, allowing the edges to hang over slightly.

Step 9

Evenly spread the mincemeat across the bottom of the crust.

Step 10

Layer the spiced apple slices over the mincemeat, arranging them neatly if desired.

Step 11

Roll out the second disc of dough into another 12-inch circle. Place it over the filling.

Step 12

Trim and crimp the edges of the crust to seal the pie. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 14

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 15

Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
