7 apples
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup plus 1 tbs sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tbs heavy cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

  1. HEAT OVEN TO 375F.
  2. Peel and slice the apples. Cover the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate with apple slices and sprinkle with raisins.
  3. In bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar and butter 5 min. or until fluffy. Add egg and 1 1/2 cups flour and mix to form dough.
  4. Sprinkle work surface with flour. Turn dough out onto surface, roll the dough into a crust. Cut the crust into 2 inch squares and lay these over apples to create a patchwork effect. Brush with the cream.
