Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 deg. Spray a shallow 2-1/2 qt baking dish with vegetable cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, brown sugar, and 3/4 tsp of cinnamon. Mix well. In a large bowl, combine apples, raisins, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.

Place half of apple mixture in the prepared dish. Pour the cider evenly over the top. Dot with 1 Tbsp of butter; sprinkle with half of the bread crumb mixture. Spoon the remaining apple mixture over crumbs; top with the remaining butter and bread crumb mixture.

Bake until crumbs are golden brown and fruit is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Place dish on a wire rack and cool slightly. To serve, place crisp, warm or chilled, on serving plates. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped topping and sprinkle with cinnamon.
