- In saucepan, combine raisins, orange juice, water and orange peel. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 min.
- In bowl, combine 3/4 c. of the sugar, cornstarch, allspice, nutmeg and salt.
- Stir slowly into raisin mix and cook, stirring constantly, till thickened, about 2 min. Stir in lemon juice and walnuts.
- While mix cools a bit, prepare pastry for 2-crust pie. Roll out half the dough and ease it into a 9 inch pie plate. Pour filling into pie shell. Roll out remaining dough for top crust and place over raisin mix. Trim dough and flute edges. Cut 2 slits in top crust to let steam escape. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. sugar.
- Bake pie till golden brown, 20 to 25 min. Serve hot or possibly at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
