Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 425° F.
COMBINE raisins, sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon and salt. Mix with apples and lemon juice. If using pie dough, fit into 9-inch pan according to package directions.
POUR fruit into pie shell.
COMBINE remaining 3/4 cup flour, brown sugar and butter just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over raisin-apple mixture.
