Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • Pastry for two bottom (9-inch) pies
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 eggs (I use large)
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans (I lightly toast them, you will need to measure 1 cup after chopping)
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • Whipped cream and additional chopped nuts, optional.
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 450°. Place raisins in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; set aside.

  • Step 2: Line two 9-inch pie plates with pastry, leaving an overhang, then flute edges as you desire. Line crusts with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake 450° for 10 minutes. Discard foil. Cool on wire racks. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°.

  • Step 3: In a large bowl, cream butter with white and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla and cinnamon until blended.

  • Step 4: Drain the raisins then add to the creamed mixture along with the nuts and coconut (mixture will appear curdled). Pour into the crusts. Bake (350°) for 30-35 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks.

  • Step 5: Serve each pie wedge with whipped cream.
