Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs, then add sugar, melted butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vinegar.
- Mix in chopped pecans and raisins thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into two prepared pastry shells.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 45 minutes until golden and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you prefer a nuttier taste, toast the pecans before adding them to the mixture. Ensure the butter is fully melted to combine smoothly with the other ingredients. This pie can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking for an easy dessert option later.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Ozgood Pie warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for added richness. This pie pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful dessert for gatherings. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Mabel Saltsman'S Cake Icing for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Ozgood Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual slices for a quick treat, but the oven will help maintain the pie's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different nuts instead of pecans?
Yes, you can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if you prefer. Just keep in mind that each nut will impart a different flavor profile to the pie. Toasting the nuts beforehand can enhance their flavor, regardless of the type you choose.
Is it possible to make this pie without eggs?
Absolutely! You can use a flaxseed meal or chia seeds as an egg substitute. For each egg, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This will help bind the ingredients together.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The Ozgood Pie is done when the top is golden brown and the filling is set. You can insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the pie is ready. Avoid overbaking to keep it moist.
