Apple Jack Crumb Pie

• 1/3 cup golden raisins
• 3 tablespoons brandy
• Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 5 cups sliced peeled tart apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup grated aged (dry) Jack or Gouda cheese
• 1/4 cup blanched almonds
• Vanilla ice cream

1. In a small bowl, combine raisins and brandy; cover and let stand at room temperature overnight.
2. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper. Add the apples, lemon juice and raisin mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to pastry.
3. Combine flour and sugar in a food processor. Add butter; cover and pulse until coarse crumbs form. Add cheese and almonds; pulse just until combined. Sprinkle over filling.
4. Bake at 375u0b0 for 50-60 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Cover edges with foil during the last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Serve warm with ice cream.
