Equipment

Saucepan
Bowl
Measuring Cups
Spoon or spatula
9-Inch Pie Dish
Knife
Oven

Ingredients

2 cups raisins
2 cups water
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 tbsp butter
14.1 ounce double-crust pie pastry 1 package, thawed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small saucepan, combine raisins and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the hot raisins and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and syrup is clear.
Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and butter until melted and well combined. Let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the raisin filling into the crust and spread evenly.
Top with the second crust, seal the edges, and cut a few slits on top to vent steam.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Letting the pie rest before slicing helps the filling firm up nicely.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a classic touch.
