💭 Tell me more about Mom's Easy Raisin Pie
When I was growing up, my mom used to make this old fashioned raisin pie for family desserts. I’m too old to remember if I had ever tried it as a kid but have always wanted to re-create it.
The problem is my wife hates raisins. How can you hate raisins? Anyways, I convinced her to at least try a bite of it if I made it and if she didn’t like it, then I would never make it again. Guess what? She liked it.
Thanks for the recipe mom!
I am thankful my mom still had her original recipe written down somewhere. I do have another variation of this recipe that will be posted in the near future.
In the meantime, I suggest you give this wonderful raisin pie a try. Especially if you like desserts with raisins filling, and if you don't, this raisin pie might just convert you!
I've also heard that Martha Stewart has a Raisin Pie recipe. I will have to check it out one of these days and see how hers stacks up against mine!
Or better yet, maybe good ole Martha should try MY recipe and learn a thing or two! LOL. If any of you know Martha, send her a link to this recipe.
If you are really digging this pie from my mom, you need to check out her Strawberry Rhubarb Pie recipe. Or one of my favorite Mom recipes, her Tomato Soup Cake recipe.
If you love raisins, you must try my Honey Raisin Loaf. With a hint of rum, it's the perfect loaf for the holidays! But if you are a raisin pie lover, you MUST try my Raisin Pie Shortbread Cookie recipe. You won't regret it!

I, too, grew up savoring raisin pie, my favorite dessert. Unfortunately, it was not a mom's recipe but a pie bought at an exquisite bakery in my country in South America. So, no recipe. Through the years, I've tried replicating it, but never had a finished product quite like I remember the pie of my youth. Finally, I gave up. I believe your recipe is right on target and I can't wait to try it. I will report my result. Thank you for what appears to be what I have been looking for over 40 years!
Thanks for reaching out! If you do decide to make it I would love to know if it tastes as you remember!
Thank you for your comment. I, too, grew up enjoying my favorite pie: raisin pie, in my native country, Panama. I have tried to find a recipe or have adjusted recipes I have obtained, but nothing comes close. I am eager to try this recipe as soon as I can because, I believe, we both have been on a quest to replicate this favorite treat of our youth and it sounds like we finally did. I will report my result. Thank you
Do I pour off the water after boiling the raisins? My husband wants this pie tonight! Thank you!
Thanks for asking. No need to dump the water. The raisins plump and with the addition of the sugars the mixture will turn to a syrup-like consistency. Enjoy!
At What oven temperature is this cooked
Wow. I can't believe I don't have that listed. Bake at 350°F. Thanks for catching that. Updating the recipe now!
What sized pie crust? Should it be prebaked? My old family recipe calls for it to be prevailed BUT only one prebaked crust!
Do you have a recipe for sugar cream pie? Old Indiana recipe. the I think there are three ingredients! Thanks for answers. Can’t wait to
Try 2 crusts. I think the ratio of filling to crust will please me.
I just use Pillsbury Pie Crusts. No need to pre-cook. This is one delicious raisin pie!
Newbie baker here hehe what kind of raisins do I use?
I use Sun-Maid raisins but you can use any brand you want.
I baked this pie because I have fond memories of my Grandmother & I loved her raisin pie. She made this pie on Sunday. My husband says his father would be proud. He also loved raisin pie. This is the perfect recipe. I bake it with an elderly consumer who also remembers her Mother making it. So many memories for all.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it!
I made the pie exactly per the directions and it was GREAT!!! I’m definitely keeping this recipe!!
Glad you liked it!
