In reply to Liz. The pastry will be fine without the sugar but it is very necessary in the mincemeat.

In reply to A Virtual Vegan. Has anyone tried making these without the sugar? Thanks

In reply to Lianne. There is no need to blind-bake it for mince pies. Just use it as per the instructions for the regular pastry crusts. Hope you enjoy them!

These look so good! If I make with the healthy pie crust would I need to blind bake them or would I just make them as you do with the normal pie crust in this recipe?

In reply to Mabel.

Yes you can make it whatever size you like. Obviously, the bake time will vary depending on the size. My Mum always used to make a big one with a pastry lattice laid across the top. It looks really pretty! I've got a recipe for this mincemeat tart that you might like too: https://avirtualvegan.com/festive-mincemeat-tart/

Instead of making individual mini pies, can you use your mincemeat recipe in a whole pie?

In reply to Kirsty. Definitely not, sorry. It wouldn't work. Coconut flour has totally different properties to all-purpose flour and is never a direct swap.

Could I make this with coconut flour instead of all purpose ?

In reply to Eleonora. Thank you Eleonara! I'm really pleased you all enjoyed them. The good thing about these is they look great a little rustic! ;O)

I’ve never been a big fan of mince pies until I tried these.
I made them for my husband and he truly loved them. There is no comparison to any shop bought ones. I’ve received loads of compliments on the flavour from anyone who’s tried them. Even my 6 year old son says “they are so yummy!”
I wish I could make them look as pretty as yours...that’s work in progress. I followed the recipe to a T- perfect balance for me. Thank you so much.
