For best results, use a combination of apple varieties for a complex flavor profile. If you don't have raisins, try dried cranberries or chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor. Make sure your pastry is cold before assembling the pie to prevent it from shrinking during baking. To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
