Easy mince pies

Ingredients

SERVES 6

CRUST

FILLING

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and get out a cupcake tray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix and bring together with your hands until a dough forms. Cut out little shapes for the top of the mince pies and set aside.
  3. Press the dough into the tins, making a cup shape, then prick the base with a fork and pop in the oven to bake for 5 minutes.
  4. After 5 minutes, fill each crust with fruit mince and top with a pastry shape. Pop back into the oven for a further 5–7 minutes or until golden in colour.
  5. Once golden, allow them to cool in the tin, then carefully lift them out. As the crust contains coconut oil, they should just slide out very easily. If not, run a knife around the tin and lift them out.
  6. Store in a sealed container, best eaten within a few days.

TIP: We used Robertson’s Fruit Mince for this recipe, available in major supermarkets.
