Provided by Robb Dabbs

Categories     Pie

Yield 6 serving(s)

Tips:

  • Use fresh sour cream for the best flavor. You can use store-bought or homemade sour cream. If using store-bought, make sure it is full-fat and not ultra-pasteurized.
  • Use golden raisins for a sweeter flavor and more chewy texture. If you don't have golden raisins, you can use regular raisins.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.

Conclusion:

Sour cream raisin pie is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is irresistible, and the creamy filling is perfectly complemented by the flaky crust. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight treat, this pie is sure to be a hit.
