Transfer the apple raisin mixture to the coated baking dish, then cover with the topping. ***Optional For an extra crunch, sprinkle a handful of oats 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon, and drizzle a little bit of honey over the top of the crumb mixture.*** Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Cool at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
