For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of brandy or rum to the mincemeat filling. If you prefer a sweeter pie, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, you can blind-bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an even more decadent treat. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans or almonds, in place of the walnuts.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, butter, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender, about 8-10 minutes. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
03
StepStir in the sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then, mix in the prepared mincemeat and chopped walnuts until everything is well combined. Set the apple mincemeat filling aside to cool slightly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepGently unroll one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the prepared apple mincemeat filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepMoisten the edge of the bottom crust with water. Unroll the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges of the two crusts together with a fork to seal. Cut four slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
06
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the egg yolk mixture evenly over the top crust to create a golden-brown finish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover the edges of the crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent them from browning too quickly. (Bake time: 15 minutes)
08
StepReturn the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (Bake time: 35 minutes)
09
StepRemove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (Cool time: 2 hours)
