Method

Combine the mincemeat, walnuts, apples, brown sugar, lemon juice and rum (plus the orange, cranberries and spices) in a bowl. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Take the filling out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
Prepare the crusts. Stir the filling well and pour it into the pie shell.
Top with the full crust and cut slits, or make a lattice top. Crimp the edges.
Bake on the low shelf for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes & tips

Handwritten additions on the printout: 1 orange, dried cranberries, 1/2 tsp cloves, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg. No amount is given for the cranberries, and it doesn't say whether the orange is zested or juiced. Zest and juice both work, with about 1/2 cup cranberries.
The apple count looks like it was changed from 1 to 2.
Original recipe by MARBALET on Allrecipes: "A sweet mincemeat treat! May use brandy or apple juice in place of the rum."
