Ingredients

• 2 cups Raisins
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 whole Prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 whole Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to plump the raisins.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually mix the sugar mixture into the simmering raisins, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and unsalted butter until fully combined. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out one prepared pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust around the edges.

Step 7

Pour the warm raisin filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Cover the filling with the second pie crust. Pinch the edges of the crusts together to seal, and trim any excess crust. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top crust evenly with the egg wash to promote browning.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving, allowing the filling to set properly.

Step 12

Slice and serve this comforting raisin pie as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
