Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place raisins in a saucepan and just barely cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Cover and set aside.
- Peel, core and slice apples into 1/4" pieces. Place in a casserole dish or deep bowl that is oven proof.
- In a small bowl mix together 1 tablespoon flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt together. Sprinkle over apples and set aside.
- Grate the Almond Paste (using large hole side of box grater) into a medium bowl. Add the remaining flour and cinnamon, oats, brown sugar and butter. Using a pastry cutter, or 2 knives, cut in the butter until mixture has the texture of small crumbs.
- Drain the raisins and add to apples. Toss together to mix well.
- Top with Almond Paste/oat mixture and bake for 45 minutes. If crisp is browning too quickly, loosely tent the top (do not wrap) with aluminum foil. Continue to cook until apples bubble and top turns a dark golden color.
- Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
