How to make it
- Combine all fruits and spices in a saucepan, cook uncovered over low heat until apple is soft (about 20 minutes), stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Pour into a non-metallic bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Combine flours in a large bowl.
- Cut in shortening until mixture is like coarse-meal.
- In a cup combine water and egg replacer.
- Add to flour mix, stir well.
- Turn out of a floured board, knead lightly, cover and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Roll out dough, cut 12 circles that fit the bottoms and sides of muffin tins.
- With a smaller cutter (either circle or decorative… your choice!) cut remaining pastry into 12 “hats” for the tarts.
- Fit dough “bottoms” into the tins, spoon room-temperature (or thereabouts) mincemeat into each.
- Place pastry “hats” on the centre of each tart, leaving some open space around the edges.
- Bake for 20 - 30 minutes
