- Bake at 350°F until lightly brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you're out of pecans, walnuts or almonds make a great substitute. Adding a pinch of nutmeg can enhance the spice profile, and if you prefer a more tart pie, opt for apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. To ensure a perfectly set filling, avoid over-mixing the ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
This delightful pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of Goat Milk Ice Cream(Vanilla) for a creamy contrast to the chewy raisins. Serve warm or at room temperature, and consider garnishing with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. For a complete dessert experience, enjoy it alongside a cup of spiced tea or coffee.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual slices in airtight containers. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through, to maintain the crust's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of dried fruit?
Yes, you can substitute raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a unique twist. Just ensure the total amount remains about 2/3 cup to maintain the pie's balance. Each fruit will impart its own flavor, so feel free to experiment with combinations for a personalized touch.
Is it necessary to use a pie shell?
While a traditional pie shell is recommended for structure, you can use a graham cracker crust for a different texture. Alternatively, bake the mixture in muffin tins for individual servings. Just adjust the baking time, checking for doneness after 15 minutes as they will cook faster than a whole pie.
How can I make this pie vegan?
To make a vegan version, replace the eggs with a mixture of flaxseed meal and water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water for each egg). Use a plant-based butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter, and ensure that your pie shell is dairy-free. This way, you can enjoy a vegan take on this classic dish.
