    Add 1 teaspoon of rum, a small dot of butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar into the apple cavity with the mincemeat.

    Fold diagonally opposite corners of the dough up over the apple to form two "ears" at the top, leaving the middle of the apple exposed.
  8. 8
    Cover the exposed dough "ears" with small pieces of aluminum foil to prevent burning.
