Filo Mince Pies Submitted by: Mike Ames | Date Added: 8 Sep 2023

Ingredients

150g of filo pastry<br />
150g of mincemeat (I made these the same time as my normal ones using the mincemeat from that recipe)<br />
50g of grated apple<br />
30g of melted butter

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6/200°C.<br />
<br />
2. Mix the grated apple into the mincemeat. Unfold filo pastry and use half of it to line 18 patty tins, layering 4 small squares of pastry into each patty tin, brushing each layer with the melted butter.<br />
<br />
3. Place a teaspoonful of mincemeat into each pastry case. Top with pieces of the remaining filo pastry, scrunched up into folds. Mist each one with light oil.<br />
<br />
4. Alternatively cut the Filo pastry into 2 long strips place a teaspoonful of mincemeat into the corner then fold the pastry corner to corner like a samosa.<br />
<br />
5. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Dust with icing sugar.
