Step-by-Step Method
Preheat the oven
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). If you’re using a ready pie shell, set it on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Mix the dry ingredients
In a bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
Add the sour cream
Spoon in the sour cream and whisk until the mixture looks smooth and uniform.
Fold in the raisins
Add the raisins and gently mix so they’re spread through the filling.
Finish with vinegar and baking soda
Stir in the vinegar. Sprinkle the baking soda over the top and mix right away; a little fizzing is normal.
Fill the pie
Pour the filling into the pie shell and level the surface. Wipe any drips from the edge so they don’t scorch.
Bake until set
Bake for about 40–45 minutes, until the center is set and the edges look stable. Don’t overbake; it will firm up as it cools.
Cool, slice, and serve
Cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing. If you like, dust lightly with cinnamon.
