A Christmas made straight from the heart... and home! Buckwheat flour added into the crust makes for both a tender and flavourful dough. A layer of thin apple slices underneath hearty spiced mincemeat adds texture and interest to the dessert too! Read more I used my own home-made mincemeat for this, but jarred is fine... just pick one you like! I highly recommend you serve this with rum raisin ice cream! See less
