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 your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare the bottom pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Cook over medium heat until the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- 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 for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool before slicing. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finishing touch!
Notes
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing to help the filling set.
- For added texture, consider mixing in nuts or other dried fruits.
