Bit close to mine pies, I know, but I often make a mincemeat and apple tart - I line a swiss roll tin with pastry then grate an apple or two (depending on the size of the apples) then mincemeat over the top. Occasionally I put pastry stars over, usually I bake it 'topless'.2024 Fashion on the Ration - 10/66 coupons used
