Grandma Badertscher's Swiss Mennonite Raisin Nut Pie image

AFR community member Vera Marie Badertscher received this recipe as a young bride from her husband's family. She says it reminds her of pecan pie, minus the sometimes cloying sweetness.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup raisins
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon melted butter
3/4 cup nuts, preferably walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 9-inch, unbaked pie shell
Whipped cream, optional

Steps:

  • Put the raisins in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soak. Beat eggs well, then slowly add the sugar. Beat in the flour. Add the milk, vanilla and butter, and mix until well combined.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Drain the raisins and stir in with the nuts and raisins. Pour the mixture into unbaked pie shell.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes, or until custard is set. If nuts seem to be browning, loosely cover the pie with a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
