Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas mark 6. Now make the pastry: rub the flour, butter, sugar and egg together with a splash of water to make a paste. If using mixer, use the paddle and mix for 2 minutes. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Turn the mincemeat out into a bowl, throw the mandarins and apples into the bowl and blend in by hand. Use deep muffin moulds. Rip off a small piece of sweet paste and line the sides and bottom of each mould.

Step 3

Fill with the mixture three-quarters of the way up. Roll out your lids and cut to slightly bigger than the top of the moulds.

Step 4

Place a lid on top of each pie and gently push down. Prick the lids with a knife and sprinkle with sugar.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm with fresh cream.
