Method
Pastry: In large bowl, whisk flour with salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter and lard until in fine crumbs with a few larger pieces.Whisk together water, cream and lemon juice; drizzle over flour mixture, tossing briskly with fork and adding a little more water if necessary to form ragged dough. Press into disc. Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in microwaveable bowl, stir raisins with rum. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Let stand for 15 minutes.
In large bowl, toss together apples, raisins and any remaining rum, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Spread in 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish.
On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to 10-1/2-inch (26 cm) square; lay over fruit. Trim edges to extend 1/2 inch (1 cm) beyond dish. Flute edges, tucking inside rim of dish. Mix yolk with 1 tsp (5 mL) water; brush over pastry. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut steam vents in top.
Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (180°C); bake until pastry is golden, about 25 minutes. Break pastry into about 2-inch (5 cm) pieces, pushing partially into filling.
