For an extra touch of elegance, brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) before baking to achieve a glossy, golden finish. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the mincemeat filling. A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves can add a delightful warmth. Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
