Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups raisins

• 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

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