How to Make No Meat Mince Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups peeled and chopped apples, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
  3. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover, and cook until apples are very soft, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Simmer for another 2-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Let the apple mixture cool slightly before pouring into a 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Top with a second pie crust, either crimped around the edges or cut into strips for a lattice top.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
