Just like I remember from my childhood! I added 1/3 cup of orange peel, brushed the crust with butter and sprinkled w/sugar. The pie was a little over-stuffed, so I might use slightly less filling next time -- eat the rest w/o crust! Thanks for this yummy, hard-to-find recipe!

A very good recipe, so much better than store bought. I suggest tasting the filling before adding the sugar because I felt it was just right without the extra sugar. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

simple to make! Though, the brown sugar made it a little too sweet, overall it came out great!

Actually I don't like mincemeat pie but I made it for my sister and dad who love it. I added a tsp of apple pie spice to it and it went over just great. They said it tastes just like it should. I guess it can depend on the brand of mincemeat you use. I used Crosse & Blackwell.

This was simple and delicious. The best mincemeat pie ever. My family loved it. The recipe made more than I needed for 1 pie so I used the leftovers and made a country tart and topped the mincemeat with sliced canned pear and that was delicious also.

This is my first mince pie. I used Nonesuch mincemeat (which isn't meatless!) and cut the sugar in half (and could have omitted it). I figured I'd use my deep dish pie pan so I used 4 small apples and the whole 27 ounce jar of mincemeat. After I'd let it chill overnight I discovered that even with the extra filling it was too little for the deeper pan. I used a regular pie pan and it was fine. I'm not sure how it would have worked with only 18 ounces of mince and 2 apples, though! I also added about 1/4 cup of flour, as the filling had a lot of liquid. It went over surprisingly well. A very tasty pie!

I think mincemeat is something that you have to be in the mood for. No one else here in my house ever eats mincemeat, so I had this pie all to myself! It was a good winter pie.
