I love the soft, crumbly texture of these Raw Mince Pie crusts, based on a combination of coconut flour and cashews. The recipe calls for a dehydrator to firm the crusts, but you can use your oven too, set to the lowest temperature.

  1. I really doubted that the "pastry" would hold together but it did. I was also doubtful about cling film getting too warm but it behaved well. I dehydrated the cases on the top of my hot water boiler cum range cooker, not in the cool, lower oven and they firmed up brilliantly. I added grated apple to the fruit fillling and substituted raisins for figs. The best gluten free mince pies I\’ve ever come across! Many thanks!
