RAISIN PIE



Raisin Pie image

This pie, which contains both dark and golden raisins, makes a traditional, delicious dessert for Thanksgiving or anytime.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups golden raisins
1 1/2 cups dark raisins
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

  • Combine dark and golden raisins in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, discarding water, and return raisins to bowl. Add sugar, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the raisins. Mix thoroughly, and set the pie aside to thicken for about 10 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half of the pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness, and drape over a 9-inch pie pan. The dough should just fit to the lip of the pan, with no overhang. Roll out remaining half pate brisee to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a ruler, measure a 9-inch circle in center, marking lightly without cutting through dough. With a round 1/4-inch pastry tip (number 4 tip) or a straw, punch holes in dough making 10 to 12 rows. Work quickly, so dough remains cold and holes punch through easily.
  • Fill the prepared pie pan with the raisin mixture. With a pastry brush, gently brush the dough edges with cool water, and top with perforated dough, making sure it is centered. With scissors, trim excess dough so that it creates an overhang of 1/2 inch. Tuck the dough overhang under itself to sit just on top of rim. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine egg yolk and cream to make a glaze. Brush pie sparingly with the glaze.
  • Place pie on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake for 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. and bake 35 to 40 minutes more. If pie starts to get too brown, drape a piece of aluminum foil over top. Remove from oven to wire rack, and let cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right raisins: Use plump, juicy raisins for the best flavor and texture. Avoid raisins that are dry or shriveled.
  • Soak the raisins: Soaking the raisins in hot water or rum plumps them up and intensifies their flavor.
  • Use a combination of spices: The combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger gives the pie filling a warm, autumnal flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out makes it easier to work with and prevents it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: A sharp knife will give you clean, even cuts.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Overfilling the pie will make it difficult to seal and may cause the filling to bubble over.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
