Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups raisins 🍇
- 1 cup water 💧
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 🍬
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt 🧂
- 1 tsp cinnamon 🌿
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter 🧈
- 2 pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare the bottom pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. -
Prepare the Raisin Filling:
In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Cook over medium heat until the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. -
Make the Sugar Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the sugar mixture to the saucepan with the raisins and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. -
Finish the Filling:
Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly. -
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the raisin mixture into the prepared pie crust. Place the top crust over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust for ventilation. -
Bake the Pie:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool before slicing. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finishing touch!
Notes
- This pie is best enjoyed slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- You can use homemade pie crust for an extra touch of nostalgia, but store-bought works just fine!
