Classic Old Fashioned Raisin Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups raisins
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for baking. In a saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix together the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Add this mixture to the hot raisins in the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until the syrup becomes clear and thickened. Remove from heat, then stir in the vinegar and butter. Allow the filling to cool slightly before using.
3. Pour the cooled raisin filling into a pie dish that has been lined with your favorite pastry crust. Cover the filling with a top crust. Seal the edges of the crust to prevent leaks during baking, and cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
