Recipe View 30 mins Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. (30 minutes cooling)

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.
