    Title: Plant Based Mince Pies
    Categories: Dessert, British, Pies, Vegan
    Yield: 12 Servings

    1 1/2 ts Allspice
    30 g Apples; Granny Smith or
    - Pink Lady
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Ground cloves
    1/4 ts Ground ginger
    150 g Light brown sugar
    100 g Dates; pitted
    250 ml Orange juice
    180 g Sultanas or raisins
    2 Frozen Jus Rol pastry sheets

    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 40 minutes

    Add the orange juice to a medium-sized saucepan on a medium to high
    heat.

    Add the sugar to the orange juice and stir until it dissolves, bring
    to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

    Chop the apples into small dice pieces, discarding the core. Chop the
    dates and add to the sugar mixture along with the sultanas/raisins
    and spices. Simmer and stew down for about 20 minutes and allow to
    cool before filling your cases.

    Get a muffin tray and fill with 12 foil mince pie cases.

    Unroll the defrosted pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a 9
    to 10 cm circular cutter, cut out 9 to 10 circles from the first
    pastry sheet.

    Then simply gather all the pastry scraps, form a smooth dough ball
    and roll out again to cut the final 2 to 3 circles needed. With the
    second sheet of pastry, use a 7 cm circle or star-shaped cutter to
    cut the 12 tops for your mince pies.

    Line all 12 of your mince pie cases with the pastry and gently fill
    with the fruit mixture, a heaping 1-1/2 tb per pie.

    Top with the pastry stars, brush with a little non-dairy milk to help
    the pies go golden brown when baking.

    Bake for about 20 minutes in the oven and add a sprinkle of icing
    sugar using a sieve to finish.
