This pie has no meat in it (it’s a ‘mock’ mincemeat pie). It doesn’t use mincemeat mixes or prepared pie crusts. It’s homemade, like ma (or grandma) used to make. Enjoy it! I made it for my father for Father’s Day (he loves mince pie).
Ingredients
- ½ cup cold butter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 ½ cups raisins
- 5 apples – peeled, cored and chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped grapefruit peel without white layer
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- ½ cup apple cider
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ graham cracker, crushed
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of cold butter with 1 1/2 cups flour and the salt with a fork until the mixture is very crumbly. Mix in water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the mixture holds together. Mix again with a fork, then turn out onto a floured pastry cloth. Pat the dough out into a round piece, and roll out into a 10-inch circle. Invert a 9-inch pie dish onto the dough. Flip the dough over, and peel from the pastry cloth; adjust the crust into the plate if necessary. Fold the dough over the edge of the pie dish. Set the crust aside.
Step 3
Combine the raisins, apples, grapefruit peel, orange juice, and apple cider in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup of sugar, the cinnamon, cloves, and half a crushed graham cracker, and mix well.
Step 4
Mix together 1/3 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, 6 tablespoons of butter, and half a crushed graham cracker in a bowl, stirring until the mixture looks like fine crumbs. Pour the mince filling into the prepared pie crust, and sprinkle evenly with the streusel topping.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C); bake until the topping is lightly browned, about 30 more minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
Cook’s Note
Feel free to substitute a different fruit for grapefruit peel. Orange would likely work equally well.
