My mom makes them with pastry and without. My dad and I are both diabetic,
so the pastry isn't always a good idea I'm not big on raisins usually,
but I do like craisins (dried cranberries) with the apples.

She makes a very simple vanilla bean custard (egg yolk, 1/2 & 1/2, a little
sugar, and the inside of a vanilla bean) to go with the apples...and it's
also good with poached pears.
