RAISIN PIE



Raisin Pie image

This pie, which contains both dark and golden raisins, makes a traditional, delicious dessert for Thanksgiving or anytime.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 1/2 cups dark raisins
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine dark and golden raisins in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, discarding water, and return raisins to bowl. Add sugar, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the raisins. Mix thoroughly, and set the pie aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half of the pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness, and drape over a 9-inch pie pan. The dough should just fit to the lip of the pan, with no overhang. Roll out remaining half pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a ruler, measure a 9-inch circle in center, marking lightly without cutting through dough. With a round 1/4-inch pastry tip (number 4 tip) or a straw, punch holes in dough making 10 to 12 rows. Work quickly, so dough remains cold and holes punch through easily.
  • Fill the prepared pie pan with the raisin mixture. With a pastry brush, gently brush the dough edges with cool water, and top with perforated dough, making sure it is centered. With scissors, trim excess dough so that it creates an overhang of 1/2 inch. Tuck the dough overhang under itself to sit just on top of rim. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and cream to make a glaze. Brush pie sparingly with the glaze.
  • Place pie on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. and bake 35 to 40 minutes more. If pie starts to get too brown, drape a piece of aluminum foil over top. Remove from oven to wire rack, and let cool.

Tips:

- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. - Work the butter and shortening into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. - Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. - Do not overwork the dough, or it will become tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. - To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling. - When making the filling, use fresh, ripe fruit. - Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to the filling to help it thicken. - If the filling is too thick, add a little bit of water or milk. - Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15-20 minutes to set the crust, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. - Let the pie cool completely before serving.

Raisin pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dessert, these tips will help you make the best raisin pie possible.
