Mincemeat slices have fruity Christmas mincemeat sandwiched between two layers of buttery oat crumble and are simple to make. They can be made using either shop bought or homemade mincemeat.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour. Rub the butter into the flour either by hand or using a food processor.
Add the oats and sugar and mix.
Chill until you are ready to assemble.
Assemble
Line the tin with non-stick baking parchment.
Spread half the crumble mixture over the base of the lined tin and pack using the back of a spoon or by pressing down with your hand.
Spread the mincemeat over the base.
Spoon the rest of the crumble mixture over the mincemeat making sure it is covers all the mincemeat. You do not need to compact the top layer of crumble.
Bake
Bake at 190℃, 375℉, gas mark 5 until slightly golden (about 20 to 30 minutes).
Leave to cool then remove from the tin and cut into squares or rectangles.
