Golden Oldie Old Fashioned Raisin Pie image

A golden oldie raisin pie recipe from about 1960 or earlier. I remember adding the beaten egg white tip to brush the bottom of the pie shell, to keep it from getting soggy, a few years later.

RAISIN PIE



Raisin Pie image

This is a pie my mother used to make and I just found her recipe in the cookbook that she put together for our church when I was 9 or 10. Since I don't like raisins, I had forgotten about this, but everyone else sure used to scarf it up! I thought it might be something you all would like to try, especially if you like raisins,...

1 1/2 c water, boiling
pinch of salt
1 unbaked pie crust

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.
