Instructions
- Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until well-browned, about 10 minutes, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Combine beef, apples, brown sugar, brandy, raisins, suet, walnuts, dried mixed fruit, mixed fruit peel, lemon juice, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir until thoroughly combined and sugar has dissolved; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook until flavors have blended and filling is thickened, about 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
- Use mincemeat pie filling as desired.
