apple-raisin pie
This apple pie is especially delicious if a combination of apples is used - some sweet, some tart. The raisins add a little something extra to a run of the mill apple pie.

How To Make apple-raisin pie
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare your pastry dough, then line a 9-inch pie pan with 1 rolled crust and refrigerate. Refrigerate and save other crust for top.
-
Step 2In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Blend well. Mix in the apples, raisins, maple syrup and molasses. Turn mixture into the pie crust. Spread evenly, creating a slight mound in the center.
-
Step 3Dot with the butter and sprinkle with the orange juice. Top with second rolled crust and crimp the edges together, folding the bottom crust over the edge of the top crust as you crimp. Use foil or a pie-crust ring to cover the edges and prevent over-browning.
-
Step 4While pie bakes, make the glaze by blending all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Bake the pie 40 to 45 minutes, removing the foil or ring about 5 minutes before the pie is finished baking.
-
Step 5Remove from oven onto a wire rack. Cool for 5 minutes then spread the glaze evenly over the top of the pie.
