Raisin Cream Pie

I love Raisin Cream Pie. Whenever we visit our relatives in Kansas, we always eat at a local Mennonite Restaurant that has the most amazing Pie. It's so good that you have to order Pie first, just to make sure it will be available after your dinner. I always order Raisin Cream. It was one of my Father in law's favorite pies too.

Here's a simple Amish/Mennonite recipe for Raisin Cream Pie.

Here's what you'll need:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

1 - 9" Pie Pan with 1- 9" Homemade Pie Crust. You can also purchase a crust.

2 C Raisins

1/2 C Brown Sugar

1/2 C Granulated Sugar

3 TBS Cornstarch

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Allspice
