MOCK MINCE PIE

From the kitchen of Sandy Ditoro

 

 Prepare pastry for 2 crust 9” pie (we buy frozen crusts)

In a bowl, mix together

1 - 1/3  cups sugar

½ t. salt

½ t. ground cinnamon

¼ t. ground cloves

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

 

 

 

 

ADD

1 ½ c. finely chopped pared apples

1 c. raisins

½ c. canned jellied cranberry sauce, broken up

1/3 c. coarsely chopped walnuts

1 t. grated orange peel

¼ c. lemon juice

MIX WELL.

 

Line 9” pie plate with pastry; fill. Dot with butter. Adjust top crust over filling, tucking edge under rim of bottom crust; seal. Crimp edge. Cut design in top for escape of steam.

Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) 30 to 35 minutes or until browned. Serve warm. Top with shredded or thin slices of Cheddar if desire. (Note: We serve vanilla ice cream with it instead of cheese.)
