Equipment

1 Whisk
1 Pie Drip Catcher or baking sheet
Measuring cups and spoons
Rubber spatula

Ingredients

1 10" Partially baked pie shell A purchased pie crust may be used
¼ Cup Unsalted butter, melted
⅓ Cup Corn syrup use light or dark corn syrup
1 Cup Light brown sugar
2 Large Eggs Room temperature
⅔ Cup All purpose flour
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon Baking soda
1 ¾ Cups Carrots, finely shredded
½ Cup Walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
½ Cup Raisins

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉
Combine flour, cinnamon and baking soda in a medium-sized bowl.
In a separate bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Whisk until well combined.
Add eggs to the mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add the flour/cinnamon/baking soda to the bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add the carrots, walnuts and raisins to the bowl and stir until well combined (note: walnuts and raisins are optional).
Pour the filling into the pie pan and smooth top with an offset spatula. Place pie on a baking sheet or pie drip catcher.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Check the pie after 25 minutes. If the top is turning too brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil with holes cut out over the top of the pie to prevent from burning. The pie is finished when the internal temperature reaches 180℉ (place an instant read thermometer into the center of the pie to check the temperature).
Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely (approximately 1 hour)

Notes

Storage: Place the pie in an airtight container or wrap in foil after it has cooled completely. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie does not freeze well as the crust may become soggy when defrosting.
