An Apple Pencil requires at least a fifth generation iPad Mini.

Use Apple Pencil with your iPad or iPad Pro - Apple Support

If the Apple Pencil doesn't support your iPad Mini 3, there are some alternative 3rd party alternatives out there to investigate. I use a FiftyThree Pencil with my iPad that is really cool to use. (Unfortunately, I think this specific device has been discontinued.) You might look into the Wacom Bamboo too.
