5 - 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 c. dark raisins
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/4 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. mace
1 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. butter
9 inch pie crust, store bought or homemade

Toss apples and raisins with lemon juice. Sprinkle vanilla extract 1 teaspoon at a time over fruit and toss after each sprinkling. Mix together remaining ingredients, except butter, and toss with fruit. Pour apple mixture into pie crust. Dot apples with thin slices of butter. Top with pie crust and crimp bottom and top crusts together. Make slits in top crust so steam can escape during baking. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. Serve 8 to 10.
