Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- To make the crust: Sift the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon into a medium-size mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Mixing with a fork, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, just until the dough holds together. Press the dough into a ball and divide in 1/2. Flatten each piece into a disk, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll out the remaining dough, fit it over the top of the pie, pinching the edges together to seal. Trim and crimp the edges. Pierce the top of the pie in a few places with a fork to make steam vents.
- Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce oven to 325 degrees F. and bake until crust is browned, about 45 minutes. Place on a rack to cool. If using icing, heat it in the microwave just until melted, then drizzle over the pie. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch round, a bit less than 1/4 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate, pressing into the edges. For the checkerboard edging, trim the dough to the outer edge of the pie plate, then make 1/2-inch cuts at 3/4-inch intervals all around. Bend every other tab of crust forward.

Tips:
- Use high-quality rum. The quality of the rum you use will greatly affect the flavor of your pie. Choose a dark, flavorful rum that has been aged for at least 5 years.
- Soak the raisins in rum overnight. This will help to plump the raisins and infuse them with rum flavor.
- Use a good quality pie crust. A flaky, buttery pie crust will complement the rich filling perfectly.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling will expand as it bakes, so you don't want to overfill the crust or it will overflow.
- Bake the pie until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
