Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
  • Combine the flour and butter in a food processor or bowl until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in icing sugar, orange zest, and beaten egg to form a dough.
  • Wrap the dough and chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until firm.
  • Roll the pastry between sheets of greaseproof paper to a thickness of 1-2mm.
  • Cut 12 rounds using an 8cm cutter and line the muffin tin.
  • Prick the base of each pastry case with a fork.
  • Mix the mincemeat with chopped apricots and divide among the pastry cases.
  • Top each tart with the grated marzipan.
  • Bake on the hot sheet for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
