Merry Mince Pie with Sweet Icing - 35 Min

Instructions:

1. Unroll the ready-made pastry on a lightly floured surface and use a circular cutter to stamp out 12 circles.
2. Gently press each pastry circle into the bottom and up the sides of a 12-hole mince pie tin, ensuring no air pockets remain at the bottom.
3. Spoon a generous heap of fruit mincemeat into each pastry shell, pressing down slightly with the back of a spoon to create a slight dome.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 12–15 minutes until the edges are deep mahogany-gold and the filling is bubbling.
5. Remove from oven and let the pies cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
6. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk (or lemon juice) until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled pies.
