Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Unroll pie crusts. Gently line an ungreased 9-inch pie plate with one pastry, ensuring it fits snugly. (5 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Spoon the mincemeat filling evenly into the prepared pie crust. (2 minutes)

04

Step
8 mins

Carefully cover the filling with the second pastry crust. Press the edges firmly to seal, creating a decorative crimp if desired. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (8 minutes)

05

Step
30 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is a beautiful golden brown, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

06

Step
10 mins

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. (10 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking to achieve a glossy, golden finish.
If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Feel free to experiment with different spices in the mincemeat filling. A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves can add a delightful warmth.
Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
