This easy 5-ingredient mincemeat and apple tart is the perfect way to use up any leftover mincemeat. It's really quick to throw together, too!
Ingredients
- 320g/11½oz ready-rolled puff pastry
- 300g/10½oz mincemeat
- 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 free-range egg, lightly whisked
- 1 tbsp demerara sugar
To serve (optional)
- icing sugar
- clotted cream or ice cream
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Roll the puff pastry out onto a baking tray on its paper (or use a fresh sheet of baking paper).
Score a 2cm/¾in rectangular border into the pastry using a sharp knife. Spoon the mincemeat on top and spread evenly, taking care not to go over the border.
Place the apple slices fanned out on top of the mincemeat in a decorative pattern. Brush the border pastry with the egg using a pastry brush, then sprinkle the the demerara sugar over the border.
Place the tart in the oven for 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden-brown and risen at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with a little icing sugar if you like, then slice into portions and serve as it is or with clotted cream or ice cream.
