I adore mince pies and decided to make a full blown tart version after tasting the frangipane mince pies at the Avondale wine pairing with Sonia Cabano.  I simply fell in love with the flavour combinations and the almondy frangipane mix makes a perfect topping for a mince pie.

I used the Gordon Ramsey sweet pastry recipe passed onto me by my friend Lori as its her all time favourite pastry base.  I enjoy it too as you make it in a food processor so I find this very unfussy and easy.

I topped the tart with flaked almonds which add texture and almond flavour.
