Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rolling pin
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine raisins and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes to plump the raisins.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar mixture and lemon juice into the raisins to create a thick, syrupy filling.
  5. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.
  6. Pour the raisin filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly, and dot the top with small pieces of butter.
  7. Cover with a top crust or lattice if desired, cutting slits for steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let the pie cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful finish.
