INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 2/3 cup butter, softened
    • 2 tablespoons grated orange zest
    • 💧 1/4 cup ice water

  • Filling & Topping

    • 3/4 cup prepared mincemeat pie filling
    • 🥚 1 large egg, beaten

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2

Sift flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to mix in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in orange zest. Sprinkle with ice water and gather dough into a ball. Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out approximately 18 (3-inch) diameter circles, and 18 (2-inch) circles, re-rolling dough as needed.

3

Line muffin cups or mini tart tins using the 3-inch pastry circles. Fill each pastry cup with about 1 tablespoon of mincemeat filling. Top with 2-inch pastry circles, pinching circles together to seal the edges. Brush the top of each pie with egg.

4

Bake pies in preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly on wire racks. Dust with remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar just before serving.
