The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your oven rack is in the middle position for even baking.
- 2
Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate with the softened butter and set it aside.
About 1 min
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the baking powder is evenly distributed, which helps with a consistent rise.
- 4
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract with a whisk until they are light and foamy.
About 2 min
- 5
Gradually stir the granulated sugar into the egg mixture until it is well combined.
About 1 min
- 6
Add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be very thick.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Avoid overmixing, which can make the final product tough. Stop stirring as soon as you no longer see dry flour.
- 7
Fold the chopped apples, pecans, and raisins into the thick batter.
About 1 min
- 8
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pie plate.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth the top.

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
About 50 min
- 10
Let the dish cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
About 10 min
