Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This ensures your pie bakes to perfection!
-
Cooking the Filling: In a saucepan, combine the raisins and water, then cook over medium heat for approximately 12 minutes. This step allows the raisins to plump up and infuse the water with their sweet flavor.
-
Adding Sweetness: After 12 minutes, stir in the white sugar, flour, and butter into the saucepan with the raisins and water. Continue cooking for an additional two minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and develop a rich, luscious texture.
-
Filling the Pie: Once the filling is ready, pour it into a prepared pastry shell, spreading it evenly to ensure each slice of pie is bursting with deliciousness.
-
Top Crust: Gently place the top crust over the filled pie, crimping the edges to seal in all the goodness. For a decorative touch, make vent slashes in the crust, allowing steam to escape during baking.
-
Bake to Perfection: Pop your pie into the preheated oven and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for approximately 30 minutes or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is bubbling with irresistible goodness.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove your pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into generous portions. Serve it warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Note: For a citrusy twist, feel free to enhance the flavor of your pie filling by adding the zest and juice of half a fresh lemon or orange. This adds a bright, tangy dimension that beautifully complements the sweetness of the raisins. 🍋🍊
