Spinach-Apple-Gouda Pie (Tourte De Blettes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (9 inch) pie shells
    Filling
    2 tart apples, peeled and diced fine
    1/2 cup golden raisin
    1/4 cup dark rum, heated
    2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained well
    1/2 cup pine nuts
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1/2 lb gouda cheese, diced into small cubes
    2 beaten eggs
    2 tablespoons currant jelly or 2 tablespoons any jam
    confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preparation
    Soak raisins in heated rum for 10 minutes.
    Roll out bottom crust, and line a 9\" baking dish.
    Mix all filling ingredients well, and put into bottom crust. Put on top crust, crimp edges well, and prick a few times to create air vents.
    Bake at 350 until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool and dust with confectioner's sugar.
    Freezes well.
    (I sometimes make these into little bite-sized appetizers by cutting the dough in 3\" circles with a fluted biscuit cutter, adding 2 t filling, folding over, and sealing by crimping the edges with a fork.).
