1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large baking sheet. 2 .Peel, core, and cut the apples into ¼-inch slices. 3  In a medium-sized bowl, combine the apples with the raisins, honey, and allspice.4 Roll out the pastry to a circle approximately 10 inches in diameter.5 . Spoon the apple mixture over half the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. 6 Fold the other half over the apples, moisten the edges with milk, and seal.7 Crimp the edges with the tines or the handle of a fork. Place on the baking sheet, brush with milk, and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 45 minutes.

If you're in a rush, opt to use a frozen puff or phyllo pastry. The flavorings are all very basic. If you like, you can add ½ teaspoon each of ground nutmeg and ginger; replace the allspice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon; or add grated orange or lemon zest.
