Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter
1⁄2 cup ice water
FOR THE FILLING
1 cup raisins
1⁄2 cup apple brandy
1⁄2 cup sugar
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups cubed peeled fresh apples

  • Divide dough in half, so that one portion is slightly larger than the other, wrap each in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until easy to handle.
  • In a small saucepan, over low heat, cook raisins in brandy for 13-15 minutes or until raisins are plump. Strain reserving liquid, and set raisins aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Add the apples, lemon juice, raisins, and 1/2 teaspoon of the reserved liquid in the previous step.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion of dough to fit in a 9 inch pie plate.
  • Transfer pastry to pie plate.
  • Trim pastry even with the edges, then add apple filling, and dot with butter.
  • Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie, and place over the filling.
  • Trim, seal, and flute edges. Cut slits in pastry, and cover edges loosely with foil.
