Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups ice water
• 6 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 0.75 cups raisins
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust.

Step 2

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork the dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, raisins, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one of the dough discs into a circle large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the dough into the pie pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.

Step 9

Pour the apple and raisin filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Roll out the second dough disc to form the top crust. Place it over the filling and trim the edges, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 11

Seal the top and bottom crusts together by crimping the edges or pressing with a fork.

Step 12

Cut a few small vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create the egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 14

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 15

If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil while the pie continues baking.

Step 16

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 17

Slice and serve your Deep Dish Apple Raisin Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
