Michael’s Mincemeat Pie

 
18 ounce jar prepared mincemeat (about 2 cups)

1-1/2 C. chopped, toasted

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 C. packed brown sugar

1 C. Brandy or rum

1 T. fresh lemon juice

Prepare pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie milk sugar a day ahead of time

Combine all ingredients, except pastry, until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Three Hours Before Serving:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Fill pastry-lined pie plate with undrained mincemeat. For top crust, either prepare a lattice top or a full crust with slits. Seal and flute edges. Brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with flavored whipped cream

I found this and then made some changes. It is adapted from a recipe from

The Good Housekeeping Cookbook, 1973
