Mince Pie with apples and nuts

This post is also available in german/deutsch.

Ohh how nice they are finally here, the 2nd Advent and St. Nicholas Day. Since visits to the Christmas market are canceled during these times and numerous cafes are closed, we thought that after beautiful walks in the partly snow-covered forests, a delicious cup of tea or coffee accompanied by a delicious mince pie can provide pre-Christmas joy. The delicious little tartlets with their delicious filling made from apples, spices and raisins create a delicious transition from autumn to winter. Just give it a try. You will see them create a good mood in a cozy atmosphere.
