Method:

1. Peel, halve and pip the grapes. Mix with sultanas and raisins. Pour brandy over, cover and leave to macerate for 2 to 3 hours. Peel apples and grate coarsely; add to macerated fruit. Mix carefully with two forks, add grated rind, almonds and brown sugar.
2. Preheat oven to 190 ºC. Take two thirds of pastry, line flan ring, prick bottom of pastry well and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Drain and pack fruit into flan, pressing down well with a spoon. Roll out remaining third of pastry to size of flan ring. Wet the edge of the pastry and lift on the top circle. Press edges together with a fork. Using pastry cutters, cut different shapes out of the pastry.

5. Lightly whip cream and flavour with brandy. Serve separately with warm or cold mince pie.
