Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups raisins
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 unbaked pie crust
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine the raisins, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this mixture to the raisins, stirring constantly.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until melted.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Pour the raisin filling into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the pie with a second pie crust, sealing and crimping the edges. Cut slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving.
