Instructions

1
For the mince pie filling, mix all the ingredients together and leave to sit for a minimum of 24 hours. The longer you leave the mix the better the flavour will be so best to plan ahead.
2
For the pastry, cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until soft and pale in colour. Add the egg and vanilla and mix. Finally, add the flour and mix until you have a soft dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
3
Grease and flour a 10" loose bottom ring tart.
4
Once the pastry has rested, roll it out onto a flour surface until 1/2cm thick. Line the tart ring and trim any excess pastry, this will be used for the lattice topping
5
Chill the tart.
6
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan.
7
Once rested, spoon the mince pie filling into the lined tart ring. Set aside while you prepare the lattice topping.
8
Taking the remaining pastry, roll out until it's 10" round and cut 12 x 1.5" strips. Alternate the strips across the top of the tart to create a lattice design.
9
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with some Gem soft dark brown sugar and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
10
Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!
