Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (9 inch) pie shells, partially baked
1 ½ cups raisins
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place raisins in a small saucepan. Pour in enough water to cover. Place over low heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Drain excess water from raisins. Fold into mixture along with nuts and coconut. Mixture will appear curdled. Pour half of mixture into each pastry shell.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The crust was nice and flaky, and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. The pie is always moist and flavorful, and the crust is perfectly flaky. I highly recommend this recipe.

This pie was a hit at my family gathering! The combination of raisins and coconut was perfect, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this pie again.
