Pour into the pie shell and using a spoon distribute the raisins evenly on the bottom of the pie. Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil after 30 minutes of baking to prevent the crust edges from burning.)

Notes

Savoury Cottage Cheese Pie With Sundried Tomatoes

To make a savoury version of this pie, substitute the raisins, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon with ⅔ cup of sundried tomatoes, 1 tsp of dried oregano, ¼ tsp of ground black pepper, ½ tsp of salt and a pinch of paprika. I make my own oven made sundried tomatoes but you can use oil packed store bought. Just pat the oil off with a towel before chopping.
