A necessity for the festive season - these Christmas mince tarts are easy to make using pre-made fruit mince mix. Our recipe is quick and easy to whip up for any festive occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 x 400g tub fruit mince

  • 1/2 apple, peeled and grated

  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted

  • 2 sheets ready rolled sweet short pastry, thawed

  • icing sugar, to dust

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan bake), or 200°C (conventional). Mix together fruit mince, grated apple and slivered almonds.

  2. Using a round cutter, cut out pastry circles, approximately 6cm diameter and carefully press into mini muffin tins. Cut out small stars using a star cutter. Re-roll the pastry if necessary.

  3. Fill the pastry lined tins with the fruit mince. Place a pastry star on the top.

  4. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Allow tarts to cool a little before lifting them out onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
