Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/Gas 5.

Step 2

Grease a 12 hole tart tin.

Step 3

Make the filling by mixing together the apple, cranberries and mincemeat.

For the pastry

Step 1

Cut the butter into small pieces and, in a large bowl, rub it into the flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Add the sugar, egg yolks and satsuma juice and mix together.

Step 3

Roll the pastry into a ball and divide into quarters.

Step 4

Roll out one piece, cut out 8 circles, just big enough to line the tins. Repeat with another quarter to make 16 circles.

Step 5

Roll out the next two quarters one at a time, and cut 8 stars out of each, about the same size as the tart tin holes.

Step 6

Cooking in 2 batches, add the pastry circles to the tin, spoon in some filling and top with the stars.

Step 7

Brush with milk and bake for 15 mins until the pastry is cooked and golden. Leave to cool slightly, then dust with icing sugar.
