Grandma Meg's Raisin Pie Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a pie crust.
• STEP 2.In a saucepan, combine raisins, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and water. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
• STEP 3.Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and butter. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
• STEP 4.Cover the pie with a second crust and seal the edges. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
• STEP 5.Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool before serving.
• STEP 6.Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cooking Tips

• Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before using to plump them up.
• For a deeper flavor, add a splash of rum or brandy to the filling.
• If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Storage and Serving

• Store the leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds or warm in a low oven.
• Serve the pie at room temperature or warm it slightly before serving.
