Spicy Apple Pie

This a a quick and easy pie to put together at the last minute. Its got a great flavour similar to apple strudel. I made this not long ago when I had unexpected friends staying for dinner when all I had were a few apples and remembered the jar of Robertsons fruit mince I had at the back of the pantry!
