mincemeat

🥗Healthier: fruit and nut mixture

💰Cheaper: homemade fruit filling

A fruit and nut mixture is lower in calories and can be made from pantry staples.

shortcrust pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface until about 3mm thick.

Cut out circles of pastry to line a muffin tin.

Press the pastry circles into the muffin tin to form cups.

Fill each pastry cup with mincemeat, leaving a small gap at the top.

Cut out smaller circles or stars from the remaining pastry to create tops for the pies.

Place the pastry tops over the filled cups and seal the edges by pressing down.

Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.

Sprinkle sugar on top for added sweetness and crunch.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
