These tiny fruitcakes will bring joy to everyone on your list. We used dried apples, pears, apricots, and golden raisins, but you can also use dried cherries, cranberries, and regular raisins, or a mixture.

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups finely diced mixed dried fruit, such as dried apples, pears, apricots, and golden raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (5 1/2 ounces)
1 3/4 cups brandy
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup apricot jam, warmed, for topping

Steps:

  • In a large nonreactive bowl, combine dried fruit, walnuts, and 1 1/4 cups brandy. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 8 hours (or up to 1 day), stirring occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs in 2 additions, scraping down bowl in between. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and spices. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down bowl in between. Fold fruit mixture into batter.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two minimuffin pans with paper liners. Fill each liner with 1 rounded tablespoon batter. Firmly tap pans on counter to settle batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a cake comes out clean and edges are light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.
  • Brush cakes with 1/2 cup brandy; transfer cakes to a wire rack to cool completely. (To store, cover and refrigerate, up to 1 month.) Brush with apricot jam before serving or packing.
