If there is no brandy in your ingredient label then you can add 1/4 cup or so - or you can dress it up a bit -
Pastry for two-crust 9-inch pie
1 cup prepared mincemeat
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/4 cup sugar plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
4 cups Gala or Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Method:
1) Heat oven to 375° F. Line bottom of 9-inch pie pan with half the pastry. Combine mincemeat and orange zest; spread in bottom of pastry-lined pie pan.
2) In large bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, the walnuts, and flour; add apples and toss. Spread apple mixture over mincemeat layer. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover filling with remaining pastry; seal and flute edges. Brush top crust lightly with water and sprinkle with sugar. Cut several vents in top crust to allow steam to escape.
3) Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving
You don't have to adde anything to it - you can fill your crust with just the mincemeat.
