     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
     1/2  ts            Lemon rind -- grated
     1/4  c             Water

   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.
