Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

All-purpose flour, for work surface
Pie Crust
2 1/2 heaping cups raisins
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk
Pinch of salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll 1 piece of pie crust into a 12-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, mix together raisins, water, cornstarch, sugar, vinegar, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Let boil until very thick, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour raisin mixture into pie shell. On a lightly floured work surface, roll remaining piece of pie crust into a 12-inch round. Using a 1 1/4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 8 decorative heart shapes in a circular pattern, from center of the top crust. Lay over raisin mixture. Trim top and bottom edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang; press lightly to seal, then fold under and press again. Crimp edges as desired.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, milk, and salt. Brush egg mixture over crust and place pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of raisins, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The raisins are not overpowering and the pie is actually quite delicious.

This raisin pie is good, but it's not the best I've ever had. The crust is a bit dry and the filling is a little too tart for my taste.

I made this pie for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked that it wasn't too sweet.

This raisin pie is simply divine! The flavors are perfectly balanced and the crust is to die for. I highly recommend trying this recipe.

I've never been a big fan of raisin pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The raisins are plump and juicy, and the filling is perfectly spiced. The crust is also amazing - it's flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this pie again.
