How to Make Old Fashioned Raisin Pie
- Make the pie crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the larger half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 13-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges to 1/2 inch beyond the rim.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, combine raisins, brown sugar, cornstarch, and drink mix.
- Stir in the water and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in walnuts.
- Pour the raisin filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top with the 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Roll out the remaining pastry to an 11-inch circle.
- Place the top crust over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal. Cut several steam vents in the top crust.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
