Apple and Mincemeat Tart


For M’s mum’s birthday, which was near Christmas, I made a simple apple and mincemeat tart for dessert (and yes, I make so many recipes that I’m not getting around to posting this until August). Unfortunately, in our rush, M and I left the dessert home. We had so many bags to carry that we forgot that one. When we came back, the tart was still waiting patiently by the front door, so we promptly put it in the oven and baked it, then ate it. It’s great served with custard or cream.

Ingredients:
4 apples
oil
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
phyllo (also spelled filo) dough
½ jar mincemeat

Instructions:
1. Wash and slice the apples. You can also peel them if you prefer.
2. Fry them lightly in oil with the sugar and cinnamon, until a touch golden and caramelised.
3. Oil an oven-safe dish. Place two sheets of filo dough in it as the bottom.
4. Mix the apples and mincemeat on top of the dough. I used several layers of fruit and filo to make it a little nicer.
5. Top with a piece of dough and fold it all up like a parcel.
6. Bake at 200 C for about 20-25 minutes.
