Mince pie pop tarts



As a kid we had family friends that were American, and in the 90's that was worlds apart for irish country bumpkins.
One of the good things that came out of that friendship was all the naughty food habits they had.
American fluffy pancakes, cookies as big as your head all of which they made themselves. But the one fatty treat that was shop bought was the one and only pop tarts...

I can even remember an episode of the Simpsons, where Homer wanted to stack on the weight so he used pop tarts instead of slices of bread!!!! You knew they had to be devilishly delishious. In truth they were kinda crap but i still loved the idea of them.

So for my festive contribution this year i have come up with none other than the mince pie pop tart. Extremely easy to make and unbelievably tasty, once you use quality ingredients. I bought all my ingredients in Aldi as i food shop there every week and i think its hard to beat them on quality and value.

For this recipe you will need:
1 pack of shortcrust pastry 
(For my recipe for shortcrust pastry search perfect pastry)
1 jar of specially selected brandy infused luxury mincemeat
1 medium sized cooking apple (from our orchard garden)
1 egg
Sprinkle of sugar

Pre heat your oven to 200'c

Unroll the pastry on a large baking try keeping the paper under the pastry

With a pizza cutter divide the pastry into 8 even sections

Peal and slice the apple then evenly place the apple onto the centre of 4 of the pastry sections

Next dollop a generous tablespoon of the minc pie filling onto the top of the apple

Now its time to put the lids on our mince pie pop tarts

Uses a fork to crimp the edges of the pop tarts then wash with the whisked egg

Sprinkle generously with sugar then whack them in the oven for 20 minutes 


After 20 minutes as you can see the pop tarts are a gorgeous golden colour, the apple as cooked to perfection. And the pairing of the mincemeat and the apple in a match made in heaven...

  5. Hi,

    Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe with us. I will try to make this for my family and will write you back about the feedback.

    You know it's always great and feels good whenever you made something for the family. I'm a food lover and always prefer to eat homemade dishes.

    Health is important, and food has a key role in maintaining perfect health. Therefore, eating organic food is the best when it comes to keeping good health.

    A couple of months ago, I started using maca root powder. So far, it's been great for my wife and me. Eating organic maca root capsules regularly is good for boosting stamina, energy, endurance, and sexual wellness.

    The best thing is that maca capsules are suitable for both men and women.

    Further, it also beneficial for reducing blood pressure and sun damage.

    In short, organic food is excellent for maintaining perfect health.

    Anyhow, thanks again for sharing and running this great blog. I wish you loads of success in the future.
