Ingredients

  • 11/2 Cups California raisins
  • 1 Cup water
  • 1/2 Cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 Cups pared and diced apple (4 to 6 apples)
  • Pastry for 9-inch two-crust pie
  • 1 lightly beaten egg
  • Sugar, as needed

Procedure

In large saucepan, boil raisins and water until liquid is almost absorbed, about 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir into raisin mixture with lemon juice and apples. Turn into pastry-lined pie pan. Cover with top crust, cutting slits for steam to escape. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated 425°F oven for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F and bake 45 to 55 minutes longer, or until pastry is golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm or cold.
