Ingredients

• ✓ mincemeat
• apple
• butter
• lemon juice
• white sugar
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• walnut
• pastry
• egg yolk
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. 2 Place apples, butter, and lemon juice into a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix in mincemeat and walnuts until thoroughly combined and set the pie filling aside.
3. 3 Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish; pour filling into crust. With a brush dipped in water, moisten the edge of the bottom crust. Top pie with the second crust and crimp the two crusts together with a fork to seal. Cut 4 slits into top crust for steam vents. Whisk egg yolk with water in a small bowl and brush the yolk mixture over top crust.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove pie from the oven and cover the crust edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent overbaking. Return pie to the oven and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 more minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ mincemeat
• active dry yeast
• water
• white sugar
• all-purpose flour
• prune juice
• prune
• raisin
• walnut
• brown sugar
• butter
• salt
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Lightly grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans; grease a large bowl. Set aside.
2. 2 Dissolve yeast in water in a separate large bowl; set aside until mixture becomes creamy, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar until combined, then stir in 3 cups flour until well combined.
3. 3 Meanwhile, combine prune juice and mincemeat in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in prunes, raisins, walnuts, brown sugar, ½ cup butter, and salt.
4. 4 Add mincemeat mixture to yeast mixture; gradually stir in remaining 7 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, until well blended and a moist dough forms (you may not need all of the flour).
5. 5 Turn out dough onto a floured work surface; knead into a ball. Transfer dough to the greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 ½ hours.
6. 6 Punch down dough; turn out onto a floured work surface, lightly knead, and return to the bowl. Set aside to rise again, about 1 hour.
7. 7 Punch down dough; turn out onto a floured work surface and divide into 3 loaves. Place each loaf into a prepared pan; lightly brush each top with 1 teaspoon butter.
8. 8 Cover pans with a clean cloth; set aside to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
9. 9 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C); continue baking until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes more. Cool slightly, remove from pans, and cool on wire racks.
