2 1/2 lbs golden delicious apples, peeled and thinly sliced (6-7)
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into very small pieces

Heat oven to 400 degrees (bottom rack).
In a large bowl, combine apples, raisins, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves.
Mound mixture in prepared unbaked pastry shell; dot with small pieces of butter.
Cover the filling with top pie crust; seal, and flute edges.
