My mom would make the crumble by grating the raw pastry on top of the filling with a large-holed cheese grater.

This was a classic tea-party dish. I can't think of it without remembering the good crockery and silverwave and the fancy crocheted tablecloth. It's best served with a scoop of thick double cream.

I personally think the raisins are what make it great, but if you don't like them, you could always leave them out, or maybe even replace them with some other dried fruit. ;-)
