Method

Preheat the oven to 220ºC (425ºF, gas mark 7). Put the apples, lemon juice, white wine, cloves and honey into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 mins or until the apples are just soft. Stir occasionally.
Remove the apples using a slotted spoon, and place in the ready-cooked pastry case. Discard the cloves. Scatter the raspberries over the apples.
Put all the ingredients for the topping into a bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Cover the fruit with the topping and bake in the oven for 15-20 mins or until it is brown and crisp. Serve warm.
