Ingredients

• 400g (14oz) jar mincemeat
• 1 large cooking apple, peeled, cored and grated
• finely grated zest of 1 orange
• 320g (11oz) sheet ready rolled puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 heaped tbsp icing sugar, plus a little more for dusting

Directions

• Preheat he oven to 200C/390F. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
• Place the mincemeat in a mixing bowl, add the grated apple and the orange zest, mix until well combined.
• Unroll the sheet of pastry, with the short end facing you. spread the mincemeat mixture over the pastry, leaving a 2cm boarder along the top edge.
• Brush the top edge with a little beaten egg and tightly roll the pastry up away from you. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Once chilled, cut the ends off of the roll and cut into 10 slices. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheets, leaving plenty of room for them to puff.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until puffed and golden. Allow to cool completely.
• Place the icing sugar in a bowl and add a few drops of cold water, mix until it is thick but drizzles easily off of the end of a spoon. Drizzle over the cooled swirls and dust with a little extra icing sugar, if you like.
