Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 400°F and position a rack in the lower-middle.
- Mix mincemeat, apple, brown sugar, lemon juice, orange zest, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and brandy.
- Fit one dough round into a 9-inch pie plate, leaving about 1 inch overhang.
- Spoon in filling and mound slightly. Dot the top with butter.
- Cover with second dough round. Trim, tuck, and crimp edges to seal. Cut a few vents on top.

- Bake 20 minutes. Reduce to 375°F and bake 25 minutes more, until golden and bubbling.
- Cool on a rack at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Variation: Add 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans to the filling for crunch. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a spoon of custard. Leftovers keep, covered, at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated up to 4 days; rewarm at 300°F for 10 minutes.
