Apple-raisin Pie
Hi, Sally and all! I made a "free form" apple-raisin pie using this recipe
this past Saturday and served it at my Halloween party. It was very
popular with my omni/SAD friends!
After making the pastry (see below) and letting it rise, roll it out into a
16" round, transfer to a baking sheet (lightly sprayed with Pam) and add
filling (about 8 chopped Granny Smith or other tart apples, 1/4-1/2 cup
raisins, a bit of lemon juice, a little grated lemon peel, cinnamon, nutmeg
and a Tbsp or so of cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup of apple juice
concentrate). Fold the edges of pastry up around filling, leaving about a
5" open space (hole) in middle for filling to peak through. Cover the hole
(only!) with aluminum foil and bake pie at 350 F for about 25 minutes.
Brush pastry with apple juice concentrate and bake for 5 more minutes or
until golden. May be served hot/room temp or cold. YUM!
