Ingredients
8 Servings
- 30 g butter
- 30 g cornstarch
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 2 pie crusts
- 250 g raisins
- 150 g sugar
- 240 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the raisins, sugar, and 180 ml of water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 60 ml of water until smooth. Add this mixture to the boiling raisin mixture and stir constantly until it thickens.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and butter until well combined.
Step 5
Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the raisin filling into the crust.
Step 6
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Seal and flute the edges, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Step 8
Allow the pie to cool before serving.
