• Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 360ºF.

Making the Mince Pies

• Unroll your shop bought shortcrust pastry or make your own shortcrust pastry with my recipe.
• Lightly dust a 12-hole fairy cake tin tray with plain flour.
• Using pastry cutters, cut a base circle which is a little larger than the fairy cake hole on the tray so when you push it in it fills the hole.
  
• Add mincemeat to the pastry, filling it up to almost full. You want to leave some space to allow the pastry to expand without the filling falling out.
  
• Gently whisk an egg with a fork and brush the egg glaze over the mince pies edges
  

Crumble Topping

• Put the 150g flour, 75g caster sugar and 100g rolled oats and mix together along with any spices. I would recommend a sprinkle of cinnamon. Add 150g of unsalted butter to the mixing bowl.
  
• Rub the ingredients together with your fingers and thumbs to create a crumble texture.
  

Assembling the Crumble Mince Pies

• Sprinkle the crumble over the mince pie tarts to lightly cover the mincemeat.
  
• Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Cook in the Air Fryer

• Air fry for 15 minutes at 180ºC / 360ºF in your air fryer oven. Check after 10 minutes.
• Allow the mince pies to cool slightly before removing them from the tin and enjoy. Best served with ice cream or cream.
• If you want to reheat them pop them in the microwave for 20-second bursts until piping hot.
