This is really a luxury pie. I prepared all as described except of the brandy as I used wine brandy instead of apple brandy which I don't have.<br/>I prepared the crust, placed on the balcony to chill (it's winter), placed the raisins in a small pot with the brandy and begun to prepare the apples and the flour/sugar/spices mix. As I was finished I rolled out the dough and proceded as described,<br/>All was perfect the taste aweasome and really pretty. <br/>I have still apples from the garden and I love to try different pies. Your pie is really top and I can recommend it! Thaks a lot for this post!
