Name: Maple Oatmeal Raisin Pie
Yield: Makes one 9-inch pie, 6 to 8 slices (level: easy)
Ingredients: 1 recipe Traditional Pastry Piecrust dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie (page 5); 1/4 cup heavy cream (to glaze the crimped pie edges); 3 large eggs, slightly beaten; 3/4 cup Grade B Vermont maple syrup; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar; 1/2 cup whole milk; 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, melted; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut; 3/4 cup oatmeal (I use Old Fashioned Quaker Oats); 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts; 1 cup dark raisins

The more subtle flavors of raisin and oatmeal allow the maple to shine through, and a tinge of coconut adds a final unexpected note to this cozy combination. This pie is so simple to make, and it’s a great dessert for a chilly fall night. I recommend serving this with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream or a dollop of Maple Whipped Cream (page 194).
