1 CUP SUGAR
3 WHOLE EGGS
1 CUP CHOPPED PECANS
1 CUP RAISINS
1 TABLESPOON APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Instructions
1. Pour in one deep 9-inch unbaked pie shell
2. Bake 35 minutes in a pre-heated 350-degree oven
3. The center will appear soft but it will become firm in cooling. Note: This filling makes enough to fill 16 individual frozen pastry shells. Allow to thaw to room temperature before filling. Fill tart shells 2/3 full. Bake at 350-degrees about 15 minutes or until light brown. The center will appear soft but will become firm as the tarts cool.

I made this tonight and my whole family loved it! I used walnuts instead of pecans because that's what I had on hand. Served it with whipped cream. Delish!

[lynnewolfe]

That pie is done perfectly! It looks like (and in fact, is) a giant butter tart, which is a famous Canadian specialty.

I had a patient who used to rave about the raisin pie at a local restaurant. I didn’t know such a thing existed! Thanks to pat, I can know use a well known and good recipe!! ❤❤❤

My grandmother made a pie just like that; she called it an All Good Pie. It's basically a chess pie with raisins and pecans. It was my dad's favorite pie, and she made it for him all the time (it was my mother's mother, though). You are supposed to plump the raisins first before adding them. I made it once for him when he was still alive. I love that you are doing other people's recipes. I just love watching the two of you; it's like watching my family in the kitchen - oops, I'm gettin' weepy now. Thanksgiving was always a big deal at my grandmother's house. Now, they're all gone, including my parents and I'm all alone every year. So y'all really mean a lot to me. I'm thankful for y'all!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!!!💖💖💖

Saving this one, too! Never had a raisin pie but I sure like raisins and that looks delish!! I just love "binge watching" some of your older videos and I have enjoyed doing that this Sunday afternoon 😊. These holiday videos y'all did with the music and wintry graphics are adorable! Just love your channel and your recipes and watching you cook. ❤😊❤

Same recipe but with added coconut….Japanese fruit pie. Love it!!!

[mrsmcdonald]

That looks so good!

Scant means "a little less than." You can have a scant teaspoon, a level teaspoon, or a heaping teaspoon.

My mom used to make regular raisin pie. It is one of my favorites. You don't see it anymore. I love it. I don't have a recipe for it

I just recently had some sour cream raisin pie at the Kansas State Fair 2023. They put a topping like a banana cream pie. The pie needs no topping. 🥰 Most yummy. 😎 Thanks.

[rickallen]

It looks like it's meant for a cleansing after the rich foods eaten over the holidays.

I was thinking a Chess Pie with pecans and raisins. Chess pies have vinegar. Looks amazing Tammy. Yummy!

[d-annabennett]

Sharing everyone's favorite family recipes is such a wonderful way of spreading holiday gifts with all your special ❤️ friends

[adelaidebarone]

Looks so easy and delicious! I think it'd be a wonderful Holiday pie! I'm going to add it to my must try list!

[donnajoyner]

My Mom has been making the Japanese fruit pie ever since I was in elementary school. A true holiday tradition...it's very similar to this recipe. Thanks for sharing...🤗

[sherryjoiner]

This is very similar to a pie my grandmother made. The recipe is lost, but I remember it used vinegar. The top of the pie looks the same. I'll have to try it. Thanks!

[paulandbenny]

A scant teaspoon is a little less than a tsp, like a heaping is a little more than. I think she meant a scant 1/2 tsp since the cinnamon was 1/2. This looks amazing.

Hi Tammy & Chris! Thanks for the great job on making this pie. The pie looks like it came out perfectly. If I can keep my crew out of it, the pie tastes even better the next day. Thank you for your kind words. Your Vol. 4 cookbook arrived today, so am looking forward to trying more of your wonderful recipes!

[letscleanhouse]

Have you ever had French coconut pie?? It’s one of our all time favorites ❤

[tamelathomas]

I love pies with raisins. I usually make one pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving that has raisins in it. I love it that way.

[beckystancliff]

That pie looks so tasty! I may be adding it my holiday line up!
