Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven
Preheat the oven to 180°C. If you are going to use ready-made pie dough, put the mold on the counter now.
Mix the starch
Dilute the corn starch in the pot with water until no lumps remain. Thus, the filling gets a more uniform consistency.
Cook the raisins and sugar
Add raisins and brown sugar. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 8–12 minutes; When the mixture thickens and starts to leave spoon marks, move on to the next step.
Cook the lemon and add oil
Add lemon juice, butter and margarine. When the butter melts and mixes, turn off the stove.
Add walnuts
Add coarsely chopped walnuts and mix briefly. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so that it does not soften the dough when it is too hot.
Fill the pie
Pour the filling into the pie dough and smooth the surface. If you are using top crust, turn it off and make a few small scratches to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the oven
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes. When the edges start to brown and the filling starts to bubble, remove it.
Let it rest and slice
Let the pie rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour. Thus, the filling will come together better; Then divide it into 6 slices and serve.
