Method

Put the apple, dried fruit, orange zest, orange juice, brandy, sugar and mixed spice in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until mixture is well combined. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 10 mins. Cook, uncovered, for a further 10 mins or until the mixture reduces and thickens. Transfer to a bowl and set aside for 30 mins to cool.

Pastry: put the flour, sugar and spread in a small food processor. Process until well combined. Add the orange juice and process until mixture just starts to come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together to form a ball. Roll out until 5mm-thick.

Preheat oven to 210°C conventional (or 190°C fan-forced). Using a 6 1/2cm round cutter, cut out 12 circles, discarding the remaining pastry. Spray 12 x 40ml (2 tablespoon) round bottomed patty pans with cooking spray. Line the patty pans with the pastry. Divide the fruit mince filling evenly between the pastry cases. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the pastry is light golden. Set aside in the pan for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
