Pastry Topping:

Fruit Mixture: In small saucepan combine all ingredients for fruit mixture except apple; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar begins to melt and glaze fruit mixture slightly (if necessary, add about 1 tablespoon water to keep fruit from burning).
Let simmer until fruit softens and raisins are plump, about 5 minutes.
Add apple and stir to combine.
