Food: Filling and Healthy Mince Pies

Nothing says Christmas quite like mince pies. I just love them so much. I have only had two so far this year, which for me is amazing as I'm usually on two a day by now.

I love making homemade ones and didn't want to let that go this year, so I've adapted them to make them a little more filling and healthy friendly.

They must've worked well as my family have gobbled a fair few and even my brother who 'doesn't like mince pies' said it was good.
