Measure the flour, almonds, sugar, butter and vanilla seeds into the bowl of a food processor. For the almond crumble, place the sugar and flour in a medium bowl; rub in the butter until combined. Using a cheese grater, grate the butter into the flour and add caster sugar, almonds, and salt; zest the orange and add to the bowl, then gently stir with a wooden spoon to combine.

Steps to make Almond Crumble Mince Pies:
- Put the flour, butter and cinnamon in a food processor and gradually pulse until you have a mixture the texture of fine breadcrumbs. You can also do this by hand using your finger tips to rub the butter into the flour.
- Add the sugar and egg yolk, and about 2 tbsp water. Pulse until the dough starts to form.
- When the pastry looks like this, tip it out onto a floured surface and use your hands to gently bring together into a ball. Flatten, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- For the streusel topping, place the flour, butter, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor and pulse to fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the flaked almonds.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Gas 4. Roll out the chilled pastry and cut out circles of dough big enough to line bun tins, there was enough pastry to make 24, but I had one deep set of tins and one shallow set.
- Half fill the shells with mincemeat, then sprinkle the streusel mixture over to cover. Sprinkle a few slivered almonds on the top of each and then bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
- Allow to sit in the tins for about 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire tray. Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar and topped with a spoonful of brandy cream.
