Mince Pie Bars with Streusel Topping

A one tin bake to change up a classic individual mince pie into a whole 'traybake'. This is fabulous for smaller or larger portions than the classic, and looks great served after dinner or as a cosy movie night snack! No mixer and only a few ingredients are needed for this bake.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

For the Shortcrust Pastry (or use 350g store bought)
  • 220 g Plain Flour
  • 100 g Unsalted Butter Cold & Cubed
  • 6 tbsp Cold Water
For the Filling
  • 400-500 g Mincemeat See notes
For the Streusel
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 4 tbs Plain Flour
  • 4 tbsp Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Rolled Oats

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 5. Line an 8" square baking tray.
  2. If making your own, make the pastry. Combine the butter and flour, either using your fingers to 'rub together' or by placing in a food processor and combining until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. 
  3. Add the water until the mixture comes together to form a ball. Chill 10 mins in the fridge while the oven gets hot. 
  4. In a bowl, combine all the streusel ingredients using a fork to form a sand-like texture.
  5. Roll the pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Place into the lined tin, pushing into all the corners. Spread over the mincemeat in an even layer. Sprinkle over the streusel topping.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry and streusel are crisp and golden. Remove and serve warm with ice cream or let cool!
