An old-fashioned comfort dessert with a thick layer of sweet cinnamon spiced apples and raisins sandwiched between layers of sweet pastry. This dessert is cake-like with a soft and thick pastry enveloping a layer of apples, however it is also seems like a rustic deep dish pie. There is no thickener needed in the filling. Instead the apple juices seep into the soft pastry. While baking the pastry puffs up and turns golden brown. Serve warm or room temperature with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Vanilla Sauce. This is a wonderful fall dessert when apples are in season and at their best flavor. And because there is such amazing nutritional value packed in apples that you’re bound to feel healthier with every bite of this dessert.
