Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 package refrigerated ready pie crust
- 1/2 large egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 of a 27 oz jar none such mincemeat
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended on the pie crust packaging. Typically, it’s around 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Pie Crust:
- – Take 1/2 of the refrigerated ready pie crust package and allow it to come to room temperature as per the package instructions.
- – Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish.
Line the Pie Dish:
- – Gently transfer the rolled-out pie crust into a pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Prepare the Mincemeat Filling:
- – In a bowl, mix 1/2 of the 27 oz jar of None Such Classic Original Mincemeat.
- – Evenly spread the mincemeat filling over the prepared pie crust.
Top with Second Crust:
- – Roll out the second half of the pie crust and place it over the mincemeat filling.
- – Seal the edges by pressing the top and bottom crusts together. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Vent the Pie:
- – Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits or cut a decorative pattern on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Prepare Egg Wash:
- – In a small bowl, mix 1/2 of a large egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Beat together to create an egg wash.
Brush with Egg Wash:
- – Lightly brush the top crust with the egg wash. This will give the pie a golden brown finish when baked.
Bake:
- – Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the pie crust packaging or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
- – Allow the pie to cool for a bit before slicing. Serve warm, and optionally, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your mincemeat pie has the best flavor and texture.
- If you don’t have suet, you can use butter or margarine as a substitute.
- To make the mincemeat filling even more flavorful, add some orange zest or lemon zest.
- For a richer flavor, add a few tablespoons of brandy to the mincemeat filling.
- If you don’t have time to make the pastry dough from scratch, you can use store-bought.
- If you want to make the mincemeat pie ahead of time, you can freeze it for up to a month.
