Apple Raisin Crisp



1/3 cup raisins
1 Tbs. vanilla
4 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 C. flour
4 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
3/4 C. brown sugar
3 Tbs. lemon juice
4 oz. unsalted butter
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. allspice

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with 1 Tbs of the butter.
2. Plump raisins by just covering them with warm water. Melt the remaining 3 Tbs of butter in a skillet and add the apples and stir to coat them. Add the lemon juice, sugar and vanilla, stir to coat again. Cook over low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add the drained raisins and blend. Put the mixture into the baking dish.
3. In a food processor, combine the remaining ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top and bake for 30-40 minutes until browned and crispy.
