Dessert 55 Mins.

Ingredients

12 servings

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 0.75 cup raisins
  • 0.33333334326744 cup salted butter
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated dough for a double-crust pie, defrosted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Combine brown sugar, raisins, butter, water, maple syrup, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until butter is melted and mixture is warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes to cool a bit.
  • Meanwhile, use a 4-inch round cutter to cut 12 circles of dough. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with the dough circles.
  • Whisk egg and cream together in a small bowl, then whisk it into the cooled raisin mixture until well combined. Spoon it into the pastry shells, filling each one about 2/3 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake, watching carefully, until the pastry edges are delicately browned, about 6 more minutes. Try to catch them before the filling bubbles up and spills over the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before serving.
