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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and whisk in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Combine the dry ingredients with the sour cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cooked raisins and transfer the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

To prepare the meringue, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 8

Gradually add the granulated sugar (for meringue), one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 9

Spoon the meringue over the pie filling, ensuring it completely covers the filling and sealing it to the edges of the crust.

Step 10

Using the back of a spoon, create decorative peaks or swirls in the meringue.

Step 11

Place the pie in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.

Step 12

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.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your Old Fashioned Sour Cream Raisin Pie!
