Recipe Ingredients

First of all, check if you have all the necessary ingredients for this recipe. Pay attention to the quantities!
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a circle larger than the flan tin. Line the flan tin with the pastry, pushing it into the edge and up the sides, then trim the excess.

  2. Line the pastry case with foil and a thin layer of baking beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and bake for a further 5-7 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, peel, core and finely dice the apple, tossing it in a bowl with the lemon juice as you go to stop it discolouring. Stir in the lemon zest, mincemeat and brandy.

  4. Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is crisp. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.
