How to Make Old Fashioned Sour Cream Raisin Pie

  1. In a heavy medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups sour cream and 1 cup milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and keep warm.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar using an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed for about 4 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Pour the warm filling into a 9-inch baked pie crust.
  7. Gently spread the meringue over the filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 3-6 hours before serving for best results.
  11. Cover and store leftover pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
