How to Make Sour Cream Raisin Pie
Preheat the oven and prepare a pie dish. Boil the raisins. Whisk together the sugar, sour cream, cornstarch, butter, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon over medium heat. Simmer. Remove from heat, then whisk in the egg yolks. Press the crust into the pie pan and bake it. Mix the drained raisins into the custard mixture. Pour the custard into the crust. Place the second crust over the custard filling. Bake, then cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Sour Cream Raisin Pie Ingredients & Notes
Pie Crust: While store-bought pie crust is quick and easy, feel free to use your favorite pie crust recipe instead. Raisins: Boiling the raisins ahead of time plumps them up. If you do not want to boil them, soak them in hot water for 1 hour before adding them to the recipe. Lemon Juice: An equal part of white vinegar can be used in place of the lemon juice. Spices: For a more spiced filling, add an additional ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of allspice. This will give it more of a warm, cozy holiday spiced flavor!
