APPLE-RAISIN CRUMBLE WITH ORANGE ICE CREAM

The "crumble" in this case is a buttery shortbread topping.

14 tablespoons (1 3/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
6 tablespoons plus 5 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 pounds medium-size Golden Delicious apples (about 5), peeled, cored,
cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons orange juice

Orange Ice Cream

Preheat oven to 325�F. Using electric mixer, beat butter and 6 tablespoons sugar
in medium bowl until fluffy. Beat in flour, cornstarch, cloves, and salt.
Using fingertips, press shortbread topping until moist clumps form.
Toss apples, raisins, remaining 5 tablespoons sugar, and orange juice in large bowl,
separating apple slices to coat evenly. Transfer filling to 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish;
scatter topping over. Press to compact slightly.

Bake crumble until apples are tender and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour 5 minutes.
Serve warm with Orange Ice Cream.

Makes 6 servings.
