Norwegian Apple Pie with Raisins Soaked

Serves 16 in about 50 minutes. The oven brings eggs and pecans together.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• ¾ tsp salt
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 3 cups apples, peeled and diced
• ½ cup pecans, chopped
• ⅔ cup raisins, soaked

Method

1. Tip in eggs to a mixing bowl and lightly beat (by hand).
2. Tip in sugar and vanilla and mix well.
3. Tip in salt, baking powder and mix well.
4. Tip in flour, mix well, but do not over mix.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
6. Divide the batter between two 9" greased pie pans. Smooth the batter so it is even, and covers the entire bottom of the pie pan.
7. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes.
8. Cool before serving, though it is good slightly warm, with freshly whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
