Raisin (or Craisin) Allgood Pie . . . from Chef Dave in Hutchinson, KS

     Yesterday I attended the Sunflower Publishing Contributor Workshop in Lawrence. It was a great chance to meet others who write for various regional and state publications. As I leafed through the Winter 2013 Hutchinson Magazine, I was drawn to a photo and recipe for Raisin Allgood Pie.
     Well, I couldn’t stop thinking about it so today I made this incredible pie. I must admit that I didn’t have raisins on hand but did have craisins so I’ve adapted Chef Dave Duree’s recipe just slightly. 
     Thank you Amy Conkling for a fun article and to Aaron East for the great photo that caught my attention.
