Equipment

Ingredients
  

Main Tart Ingredients

  • 1 sheet shortcrust pastry (approximately 350g)
  • flour for dusting
  • 300 g mincemeat
  • 1 egg

Crumble Topping

  • 150 g plain flour / all-purpose flour
  • 150 g unsalted butter
  • 75 g golden caster sugar
  • 100 g rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356ºF.
  • Unroll your shop-bought shortcrust pastry or make your own shortcrust pastry with my recipe.
  • Roughly divide the pastry into 6 pieces. Drape the shortcrust pastry into the tart tins and gently push the pastry into the shape of the tin.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll over the top of the pastry and remove any excess. Repeat with the rest of the tart tins.
  • Use a fork to make a few holes in the bottom of each tart tin.
  • Spoon the mincemeat to make a thin layer no higher than the sides of the tart tin.
  • Gently whisk an egg with a fork and brush the egg glaze over the pastry edges of the tart.

Crumble Topping Method

  • 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.
  • Sprinkle the crumble over the mince pie tarts to lightly cover the mincemeat.
  • Bake in the oven for 20- 25 minutes until golden brown. Check after 15 minutes and cover with foil if browning too quickly. Best served hot with cream or ice cream.
  • Or bake in the Air fryer for 15 minutes at 180ºC / 360ºF in your air fryer oven.

Notes

If you want to reheat your mince pies you can microwave them for 60 second bursts until piping hot.
You can bake the shortcrust blind if you want but this recipe is simple enough that you can cook it with filling, without it having an undercooked base.
Freeze any leftover crumble topping for later.
