How to Make Golden Oldie Old Fashioned Raisin Pie

  1. Wash 1 cup raisins in cool water and drain thoroughly.
  2. Place the drained raisins in a medium saucepan with 1 cup boiling water. Cook over medium heat until raisins are plump and have absorbed most of the water (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  4. Add the brown sugar mixture to the raisins. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Let the filling cool completely to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and carefully line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  8. Brush the bottom of the pastry with 1 large egg white, beaten until frothy.
  9. Pour the cooled raisin filling into the prepared pie crust.
  10. Roll out a second 9-inch pie crust. Place it over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  11. Use cookie cutters to create pastry cutouts from leftover dough. Arrange them on top of the pie.
  12. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  13. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  14. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
