Can I use a mixture of cooked apple and a jar of mincemeat? Has anyone tried this?

In reply to Karen Tyler. Hello I made these with lemon curd last year and they were delicious. I can recommend.

In reply to Kathryn. You can let it cool more to soak up more liquid, but I just pour it on as it is! x

Hi, I have just made the mincemeat according to the recipe but it’s really wet and soupy. I feel like I should strain some of the liquid off before using it but that will waste the brandy. Should it be so wet? Thanks!

Fabulous recipe – I didn’t have dried cranberries or currants so substituted with glace cherries. Froze well and tasted lovely. Only mistake was to cut bars too large – they hold their shape well and could have been smaller as they are quite filling.

Can you make these up in advance and freeze, then bake from frozen when needed? Concerned freezing after cooking may take away any crunch?
Thanks

Can you leave the cooking apple out of the mincemeat crumble bars? I forgot the apples in my shopping

In reply to Ros. Hi Jane I asked about using a biscuit base for these and following your reply I tried it and it was a big success I sprinkled shop bought crumble on the top and glazed it with a burner gently and everyone enjoyed it. It was like the movie gone in 60 seconds !!! Thank you for all your recipes I always use them and they never fail

I love these! I did cheat and used a couple of jars of mince meat but I’ll try the full recipe when I have more time.

Someone above mentioned putting rum in it, that sounds amazing!

Do you know if its possible to replace the mincemeat with just dates?
