Deep Dish Apple-Raisin Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs golden delicious apples, peeled and thinly sliced (6-7)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into very small pieces
1 pastry dough, for a double pie (9-inch)

Preparation

Heat oven to 400 degrees (bottom rack).
In a large bowl, combine apples, raisins, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves.
Mound mixture in prepared unbaked pastry shell; dot with small pieces of butter.
Cover the filling with top pie crust; seal, and flute edges.
Cut several vents/slits in top crust to vent out steam.
Place on a cookie sheet if desired to prevent spills.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until crust is golden, and apples are tender.
