Christmas Mini Pies
The perfect christmas mini pies recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
Dough (is also suitable for vegan preparation):
- 300 g Flour
- 200 g Butter / vegan butter
- 100 g Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tbsp Water cold
- 1 Pc. Egg
Filling:
- 120 g Currants
- 40 g Chopped orange peel
- 40 g Chopped almonds
- 60 g Brown sugar
- 70 ml Brandy
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 60 g Butter / vegan butter
- 0,5 Pc. Grated apple
- Put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor, sprinkle the butter over it as cubes. Mix everything together to form a crumbly dough. If the crumbs don’t hold together when you squeeze them with your thumb and forefinger, add some cold water. Place on a floured worktop. Halve the dough, shape each into a dough ball, press flat and wrap in cling film and cool for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the filling. To do this, simmer all the ingredients in a saucepan for 15 minutes, until the fruits are soaked and soft. Let cool down.
- Roll out the first half of the dough thinly and use it to cut out the desired shape – for example a circle, tree, star. Brush the edge with a beaten egg or maple syrup, put a heaping teaspoon of the filling on each dish.
- Cut out 15 identical shapes from the second half of the dough and cut out small mini-shapes from the center. The shapes are placed on top of the filling. Press the edges all around with a fork, brush with the remaining egg or maple syrup and bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
