Ingredients
Here’s what you will need to make this scrumptious pie:
- 1 ½ cups raisins
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let’s start making this delicious Raisin Amber Pie!
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually stir this mixture into the raisin mixture, stirring continuously until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice until well combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- To make a beautiful golden crust, brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
And there you have it! A delightful Raisin Amber Pie that’s sure to wow your friends and family. Serve it warm or at room temperature, and enjoy a slice of sweetness that brings comfort and joy to any table. Happy baking!
