Almond Crumble Mince Pies These mince pies are slightly more complicated than usual but because they have a crumble topping are actually easier to construct. The combination of sweet crisp pastry, rum soaked mincemeat (see separate recipe) and buttery, almondy topping is really special. Delicious little pies that combine an orange short crust pastry base with mincemeat filling and an almond crumble topping. Serve these warm with whipped cream or brandy butter.
Steps to make Almond Crumble Mince Pies:
- Put the flour, butter and cinnamon in a food processor and gradually pulse until you have a mixture the texture of fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by hand using your finger tips to rub the butter into the flour.
- Add the sugar and egg yolk, and about 2 tbsp water. Pulse until the dough starts to form.
- When the pastry looks like this, tip it out onto a floured surface and use your hands to gently bring together into a ball. Flatten, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- For the streusel topping, place the flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse to fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the flaked almonds.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Roll out the chilled pastry and cut out circles of dough big enough to line bun tins, there was enough pastry to make 24, but I had one deep set of tins and one shallow set.
- Half fill the shells with mincemeat, then sprinkle the streusel mixture over to cover. Sprinkle a few slivered almonds on the top of each and then bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
- Allow to sit in the tins for about 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire tray. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar and topped with a spoonful of brandy cream.
This recipe can be made in to one large pie - but I still prefer the dainty individual mini pies! I have two mincemeat recipes posted that can be used in these pies, if you are unable to source good quality commercial. Rub the fats into the flour, salt and cinnamon until have you have a breadcrumb texture, add tablespoons of water and stir in to bring the dough together. Mix the ground almonds and caster sugar in a medium sized bowl. Cut pastry into circles and place in tin, then fill with mincemeat.
