    List of Ingredients




    Apple Bourbon Pie



    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup bourbon
    3 pounds cooking apples
    3/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
    1 pkg (15oz) refrigerated piecrusts
    2 teaspoons apricot preserves, melted
    1 tablespoon buttermilk
    1 tablespoon sugar


    Recipe





    Combine raisins and bourbon, and let soak for at least 2 hours. Peel
    apples, and cut into 1/2-inch slices; arrange apple slices in a
    steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 10 minutes or
    until apple slices are tender.
    Combine 3/4 cup sugar and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; add
    apple slices, raisin mixture, and pecans, stirring to combine.

    Fit 1 piecrust into a 9-inch pie plate according to package
    directions; brush preserves over piecrust. Spoon apple mixture into
    piecrust.

    Roll remaining piecrust to press out fold lines; cut with a 3-inch
    leaf-shaped cutter. Mark veins on leaves with a pastry cutter or
    sharp knife. Arrange pastry leaves over apple mixture; brush leaves
    with buttermilk, and sprinkle pie with sugar.

    Bake at 450 degrees F. on lower rack of oven 15 minutes. Shield edges
    of pie with strips of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.

    Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 to 35 additional minutes.
    Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie.
