Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- To make the crust, sift the flour, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon into a medium-size mixing bowl. Add the oil, yogurt, and vinegar and stir gently just until combined. Press the dough into a ball and divide in 1/2. Flatten each piece into a disk, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the filling, put the raisins in a medium-size bowl and pierce them with a fork so they will soak up the rum flavoring. Add the water and rum extract and stir to combine. Let stand at least 1 hour. Drain and return raisins to the bowl. In a saucepan, combine apple juice, apples, lemon juice, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened, about 3 minutes. Add raisins and remove from the heat.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Add the filling. Roll out the remaining dough, fit it over the top of the pie, pinching the edges together to seal. Trim and crimp the edges. Pierce the top of the pie in a few places with a fork to make steam vents.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees F. then reduce the oven to 325 degrees F. and bake until apples are tender and crust is browned, about 45 minutes. Place on a rack to cool. Cut into wedges and serve.

Reviews
Just got back from a 4th of July outing and beat out 16 other people to win the pie contest with this recipe. Well,….I made a few changes. Used real rum 1/3 cup and no water. Also, used apple cider and not juice. And I added a little allspice 1/2 t-spoon. First contest, first win!

I am a big baker, but I have never baked a pie before. The one problem I had with this was the crust. The dough came out very crumbly and did not stick together at all. I hoped during the chilling process it would change. But it didn’t, so I kept adding water until it was doughy. If I had done that before chilling then it would have been much easier, but it was my first pie. After that all it turned out pretty good. I would make it again.
