Professor's Apple Archimedes Apple Crisp Recipe

This isn't your grandma's apple crisp! Professor S's revolutionary take on this classic dessert features plump raisins mixed *throughout* a buttery, cinnamon-spiced apple filling, baked to golden perfection. We've cleverly incorporated bran cereal for extra texture and a delightful crunch. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or reheat for a comforting breakfast treat. (Pro-tip: Half the butter recipe and it's still amazing!)
