40g (1 1/2 oz) icing sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4
Measure the shortbread crust ingredients into the processor and whiz until the mixture comes together (do not add any liquid).
Roll the pastry out on a floured flat baking sheet to form a round about 25cm (10 inches ) in diameter. Using your thumb and index finger, pinch the pastry all the way around the outside to form a crimped edge..
Mix the grated marzipan with the mincemeat and spread over the shortbread circle, leaving a 1cm (1/ inch) gap around the edge. Arrange the apples in an overlapping spiral over the mincemeat and sprinkle with the remaining marzipan.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 25-30 mins, until the shortbread is pale golden brown and crisp at the edges.
Cook completely up to 24 hours ahead and reheat in a moderate oven until warm
Cut into wedges and serve warm.
