6 apples peeled, cored and sliced

3 tbsp flour (I use whole wheat)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup raisins (I used craisins cause that is what I had in the house)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup whole milk (I used light vanilla soy milk)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
