Happy Christmas All! - Try My Vegan Mince Pie Swirls 🎄🎁🎉

I friends, I was up early this morning to bake some festive treats so thought I would share them with you before I settle in for a day of unashamed binge eating and merriment!

Mince pies might not be known to those from outside of the UK, so for those who are not familiar they are a pastry based sweet dish filled with a mixture of dried fruits and spices (no meat!) and are traditionally served over the Christmas period.

The version I made is a little 'twist' on the traditional style, a little lighter and with less filling so perhaps a good option for those not sure about the whole 'mince meat' thing 😊

Although a typically English dish, mince meat is widely available pre-made and can be ordered online so why not give it a go?

It's so so easy to make with only a few minutes prep and 30 minutes baking time.

Here's what you'll need:

• Pre-made puff pastry sheet
• 1 jar Christmas mince meat
• 1 tbsp any vegan butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar

Method:

• Preheat your oven to about 190c/ 375F.

• Unroll the pasty sheet and leave at room temperature for 10 minutes.

• Spread a thin layer of butter over the whole sheet.

• Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

• Spread the whole jar of mince meat evenly over the entire pastry sheet.

• Roll the sheet up as tightly as you can.

• Cut to your desired thickness (I made 12).

• Place on some parchment paper on an oven tray.

• Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.

• Remove and turn over.

• Bake for another 10 minutes.

• Remove from oven and leave to cool (if you can wait that long!)

• Enjoy!

And there you have it!

Delicious Christmas pastries that are super easy to make and delicious on their own, served cold or warm with custard or ice cream.

Have a joyous day everyone! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁🎉🎅🏻
