Peel, core, and cut up 8-10 nice apples. Add 1/2 cup raisins, the zest of half an orange, a couple tablespoons orange juice, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp allspice, pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons Minute® tapioca, mix well, and arrange in a baking dish. I used a shallow, terra cotta cazuela from Spain, about 12" across and 2" deep. Dot with a couple tablespoons butter.
Cut up 1 sheet of Pillsbury pie crust into strips using a ravioli cutter. (Sure, go ahead, make your own, but on a drizzly, drab Sunday, that was not in the plans.)
Artfully arrange the strips on top of the apples. Or just fling them on top, whatever you like. Brush the pastry with some cream and sprinkle with coarse brown sugar.
Bake in a 350°F oven for about an hour until the apples are bubbly and the crust is nicely browned.
I mean, really, how beautiful is that?
