Apple Bourbon Pie recipe

If you’re cooking for the holidays this year, be sure to add this recipe to the menu. Full of late fall flavors from smoky bourbon, rich raisins, buttery nuts, and sweet apples, this pie will create a lasting finish for your holiday spread.

Ingredients:
½ cup raisins
½ cup bourbon
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
2 teaspoons apricot preserves

1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:
Soak for 2 hours.

Place apples in a large pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.

Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg with the raisins in the liquid.

Spoon the evenly into the pie crust.

Roll the remaining pie crust to press out fold lines; cut with a cutter or the brush and sprinkle.

Bake 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the pie is bubbling.
