1 c Dried bread crumbs
1/4 c Butter -- melted
2 1/2 c Apples -- peeled and sliced
3/4 c Brown sugar -- packed
1 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Cloves

1 ts Vanilla
1/2 c Raisins
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the bread crumbs and melted butter.
Place about 1/3 of this mixture on the bottom of an 8" baking dish.
Cover with a layer of about half the apples. Stir together the
brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and lemon rind. Sprinkle
about half of this sugar mixture over the apple mixture in the
baking dish. Mix together the water, lemon juice, and vanilla and
sprinkle half this on top of the sugar layer. Reserve the remaining
lemon juice and water.
Add another layer of crumbs, then the raisins. Cover with
the remaining apples, sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture, then
lemon juice and water. Place the last third of the crumb mixture on
top. Cover the dish and bake about 40 minutes, until the apples are
nearly tender. Remove cover and raise heat to 400 F, and let top
brown for about 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
