Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for meringue)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Cook over medium heat until the raisins are plump and most of the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and whisk in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the dry ingredients with the sour cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the cooked raisins and transfer the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
To prepare the meringue, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar (for meringue), one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Spoon the meringue over the pie filling, ensuring it completely covers the filling and sealing it to the edges of the crust.
Using the back of a spoon, create decorative peaks or swirls in the meringue.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Slice and enjoy your Old Fashioned Sour Cream Raisin Pie!
